From Nigeria to New Zealand, from Jamaica to Malaysia, from India to South
Africa, these stories show us that the human heart is the same in every place.
People everywhere have the same feelings of fear and pain, happiness and
sadness. Bookworms World Stories collect stories written in English from around
the world, and the eight stories in this book were selected from the winning
entries in the Commonwealth Short Story Competition. All the stories in this
edition are from two previous Bookworms titles: Cries from the Heart and Songs
from the Soul.
