In his notes, competition Judge Laurie Steed said of the winning story 'Starry, Starry Cow' that it has a scope that is in line with Anthony Doerr's work and an emotional depth that mirrors the work of Alice Munro. High praise, along with 'One of the best stories I've read in ages.'
In this anthology, stories responding to the theme of 'heart' will genuinely touch you, and in some cases deliver a gut punch. Please enjoy this heartfelt collection from the inaugural Mansfield Readers and Writers Festival and short story competition.
