Cr�ticas:

A fabulous insight into the literary landscape today (Aesthetica 2009-06-01)

An admirable and ingenious idea... There are many gems... This collection disproves claims that the short story is on its last legs. It is also a rare treat to be able to read literature that literally improves the world (Sebastian Shakespeare Tatler 2009-07-01)

Fight poverty from the comfort of your own sofa by reading one of Oxfam's series of Ox-Tales (Psychologies 2009-07-01)

The perfect travelling companion (Image 2009-06-01)

Wonderful short stories by 38 of the best writers around (Paul Blezard The Lady 2009-06-23)

Each book offers a feast of thought-provoking material, from the piquant to the poignant (Irish Tatler 2009-07-01)

Classy... A great opportunity to sample a wide range of takes on this underrated form... At their best - Ali Smith, Alexander McCall Smith, Sebastian Faulks - short stories open disproportionately wide imaginative vistas (Daily Telegraph 2009-07-11)

These excellent collections include stories by some of Britain's best-loved writers... One of the joys of collections like these is that you're bound to come across something new... You really should buy them all (Financial Times 2009-07-11)

Heaven on earth for any literary aficionado (Ulster Tatler 2009-07-01)

Rese�a del editor:

Ox-Tales is a set of four compelling and collectible books, each themed on one of the elements. 'Water' features stories by Esther Freud, David Park, Heri Kunzru, Zo� Heller, Michel Faber, William Boyd, Joanna Trollope, Giles Foden and Michael Morpurgo, and a poem by Vikram Seth.

The idea behind Ox-Tales is to raise money for Oxfam and along the way to highlight the charity's work in project areas: agriculture in Earth, water projects in Water, conflict aid in Fire, and climate change in Air.

The four books will play a central role in the first ever Oxfam Bookfest, a new annual event launching in July 2009. Created in partnership with Hay Festival, the program includes more than 300 events across the UK.
