All in all a great collection. The artwork is very hit and miss but the stories are all worth reading even though nearly all of them are not noteworthy. There are some noteworthy authors (Dumas, Conan Doyle, Kipling, O. Henry) but those are not their famous works. A nice collection of works I otherwise never would have known about. My two favorites were A Masked Ball by Dumas and Two Men Named Collins by Damon Runyan.
