    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    A decade of catastrophic worldwide war.  Empires in tectonic collision, a society heaving under the yoke, tired of sacrifice, ready for revolution.  In literature ideas were explored and detailed revealing a world and people that seem so long ago but also very near.

    In this erotic forest fantasy we find ourselves acquainted with Wisteria, a beautiful if somewhat naïve orphan, forced to live with her domineering grandmother - the all-knowing Forest Witch. When our sweet young heroine falls deeply in love with a boy from a nearby village of elves, granny does everything in her power to stop him from taking the young girl’s virginity. With hormones raging, will Wisteria escape the clutches of her wicked guardian? And if so, how will she react to the ecstasy of the sacred rights of hymen? 
    This erotic short story from Erin Pim contains highly sexualised language and graphically descriptive passages of an adult nature. It is therefore intended solely for a mature, open-minded audience.
