Synopsis

Ox-Tales is a set of four compelling and collectible books, each themed on one of the elements. Fire features stories by Mark Haddon, Geoff Dyer, Victoria Hislop, Sebastian Faulks, John le Carré, Xiaoulu Guo, William Sutcliffe, Ali Smith, Lionel Shriver and Jeanette Winterson, 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.

Review:

"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

"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
