"H'm! And you scarcely remember your mother, I suppose?" "No, Lucian; I was such a mere babe when she died, I have often wondered what it would be like to have a mother. Auntie Hagar was always very kind to me, however; so kind, in fact, that my step-father, fearing, he said, that I would grow up self-willed and disobedient, sent her away, and procured the services of the ugly old woman you saw in the garden. Poor Auntie Hagar," sighed the girl, "she was sorely grieved at our parting and, that she might be near me, bought the little cottage in the field yonder." "Oh!" ejaculated the man, more as if he felt that he was expected to say something, than as if really interested in the subject under discussion. "Ah—er—was—a—was the old lady a property holder, then? Most discharged servants go up and down on the earth, seeking what they may devour—in another situation."

Chekhov is what you might call a serious Russian writer. A bit like Charles Dickens, but without the clever humour. His stories are often about social problems, injustice and reflections on life itself. Some of his plots tend to ramble a bit, but generally his stories will hold your interest. Ricardo Silverburn, children's author.Product details

The Witch and Other Stories Anton Pavlovich Chekhov 9781515022664 Books Reviews
Chekhov at this best. Grandmaster of short stories, he is unsurpassable when coming to reveal the Russian soul - servile, simple, illiterate creatures, afraid of all who stand above them.
In particular check out Gusev and In the Ravine
No one can match the elements of Chekovs writing....the simplicity with which he describes anything. He was true to his soul.
great writer
what could be bad about Chekhov?
Wonderful collection and formatted well for the .
I'm a big Checkov fan and it's always wonderful to get more of his short stories. As there is no information about this given, there are 15 stories in this collection and they have been converted perfectly. I haven't found any errors yet. It's just a shame the contents page is not active.
If you don't know of Checkov, his stories are always full of interesting and sometimes eccentric characters. The stories are always entertaining and often leave you having to read between the lines to work out wht he wanted to relate.
As this is free, of course it's highly recommended, as is anything by Checkov.
