Collected Stories of Bertrand Russell - This volume presents a complete collection of Bertrand Russell's stories, both published and unpublished, fictional and factual.

Also included here, for the first time, is the novella The Perplexities of John Forstice, along with Russell's intimate anecdotes and the fables created for the amusement of his own children. With the elegance and lucidity of stile that won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950, this volume gives a sparkling demonstration of Russell's humanity, his sense of fun, and his delighted perception of absurdity.
