Produced by Al Haines "International Short Stories: English" edited by William Patten is a collection of renowned short stories from various literature backgrounds, specifically those of England, France, and America, and likely compiled in the early 20th century. The anthology includes works from notable authors such as Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, and Rudyard Kipling, representing a diverse array of themes and narratives. This collection provides readers an opportunity to explore a range of storytelling styles and folkloric traditions that shape the literary landscapes of these countries. The opening of the collection features "The Two Drovers" by Sir Walter Scott, which begins with the aftermath of a bustling market day, where Scottish drovers are preparing to guide their cattle to England. The narrative introduces Robin Oig M’Combich, a spirited and skilled young Highland drover, known for his expertise and deep ties to his heritage. As he sets off with his cattle, he encounters his aunt, who expresses ominous premonitions about bloodshed connected to his journey. The unfolding tension hints at eventual conflict as Robin pursues his destiny, entwined with themes of friendship, honor, and the consequences of crossing borders between Scottish and English cultures.
