The Fascinating Stranger, and Other Stories

"The Fascinating Stranger and Other Stories" is a collection of 13 stories by the American novelist and dramatist Booth Tarkington. The stories are light and pleasant, bringing a reader to the everyday life of America in the 1920s. The characters are simple, witty, intelligent, and adventurous. The same characters repeat in different stories, although they don't follow the same subject line. On the contrary: Tarkington masterfully sets his protagonists in different life situations to show us all the versatility of life.
