Short stories for students Book

The stories I read from this collection are:

'The Sworn Sword' by George R.R. Martin

In the same league as its predecessor, 'The Hedge Knight', and its successor, 'The Mystery Knight', all three of which tell tales of the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg.

'The Yazoo Queen' by Orson Scott Card

Another interesting alternate America story about Alvin Maker and his pupil Arthur Stuart. Like 'Grinning Man', which featured Davey Crockett, this story features appearances by multiple famous historical figures.

'The Monarch of the Glen' by Neil Gaiman

This novella functions incredibly well as an epilogue for American Gods, especially considering Shadow is already in Europe at the end of that novel, and apprehensive about returning to America, which is addressed in this story.
