Though Richard Peck is best known as a novelist, he has been writing praised and popular short stories throughout his career. His first, “Priscilla and the Wimps,” is perhaps the most-read children's short story of all time. Others have inspired his award-winning novels: A Long Way from Chicago and A Year Down Yonder began with a story called “Shotgun Cheatham's Last Night Above Ground”; and “The Electric Summer” was the jumping point for Fair Weather.
Now here are thirteen of Richard Peck's stories, including all of his previously published tales and two brand-new ones. He has also written entertaining notes about the stories, an informative introduction about the genre, and tips on how to write short stories, including “Five Helpful Hints” that will be a valuable aid to aspiring authors.
Two new stories pair with 11 previously published tales in Richard Peck's Past Perfect, Present Tense: New and Collected Stories, including "Priscilla and the Wimps" and "The Special Powers of Blossom Culp." However, it is Peck's introductions to each grouping of stories and his two additional sections for aspiring writers ("How to Write a Short Story"; "Five Helpful Hints") that make the collection exceptional: "We write by the light of every story we ever read. Reading other people's stories shows you the way to your own." Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
