Additional The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour: Unabridged Selections From The Frontier Stories, Volume 5 Information
|
With more than 120 titles still in print, Louis L'Amour is recognized the world over as one of the most prolific and popular American authors in history. Though he met with phenomenal success in every genre he tried, the form that put him on the map was the short story. Now this great writer – who The Wall Street Journal recently compared with Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson – will receive his due as a great storyteller. This volume kicks off a series that will, when complete, anthologize all of L'Amour’s short fiction, volume by handsome volume.
Here, in Volume Five, is a treasure-trove of frontier tales for his millions of fans and for those who have yet to discover L'Amour’s thrilling prose – and his vital role in capturing the spirit of the Old West for generations to come.

What Customers Say About The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour: Unabridged Selections From The Frontier Stories, Volume 5:

Louis Lamour is a great storyteller. They often have an ending one cannot envision and they are of the old school in that they almost always turn out OK in the end even though sometimes there are suprize endings. I have all 5 books of his short stories and they are all good.
As I look at the index, I note numerous stories which have appeared in previously published versions, such as the "Ghost Maker" and the "Cactus Kid" stories. I've read several of these stories and they're great. I'm not sure I can agree with the reviewer who said the stories are not by L'Amour. So if these are not authentic L'Amour then they weren't years ago either when they appeared under his byline. In any case, these are a great read.
I didn't read this book. But my husband just said last night someone else besides Louis L'Amour has written part or all of this book. The wording used in this collection is very different than all the books he's read for years. He said the book is good, but different.
These short story collections are a favorite with my 94-year-old Dad. This year's volume is apparently only published in paperback in the large print. He loves them and reads them over and over. But he NEEDS large print, and in hardback because they are easier for him to hold. That is truly a bummer, and a disappointment. Please tell the publisher to resume putting out a hardback copy in large print in the future as it makes a wonderful Christmas gift for the elderly who need a bit of special treatment.
