The stories are packed with humor and jokes to offer up even the grumpiest of readers a wry smile. The stories carefully selected for the book are typically areas that the average reader won’t have heard of before. Though many of them are set in familiar periods of history which helps the readers build from their own base of knowledge. In this book you will find: 127 exciting stories from different periods and locations across history. Boiled-down information from the words of a historian to help plug holes in your knowledge.

The book has some mature themes, though it remains suitable for young teenagers and older, as long as whoever reads the book is just immature enough to be able to laugh at the sillier side of life and history. If you’re looking for the perfect gift item or just a casual read or light-hearted page-turner, then The World's Best Short Stories is the book for you.
