It is difficult to state which short story writer I prefer. I think that our Hans [Christian] Andersen and the Grimms rank very high here. A story like 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' is hard to beat, so are some of Poe's tales and of Robert Louis Stevenson's...I always use a typewriter... ". Fine. $500-700
