I need to compose a synthesis paper on short stories written by Philip Roth. Trouble is, I can’t seem to find any, or even the titles. Can anyone refer me to a site where I can find free full-text versions of his short stories? If not, does anyone have a LitFinder login I could use?

Sincerely Yours asked:


I have quite a few short stories I would like to sell. However, I have no idea how to go about doing so! The pieces span several genre’s including horror, mystery, romance, and science fiction. Should I get a literary agent for this (keep in mind they are all short stories)?

Does anyone remember the name of these two short stories for kids?

R B asked:


When I was around 8 (now im 17)I remember reading 2 books from my school library that were both short stories for kids, with beautiful illustrations. I dont remember the title or author of the books this is why Im asking(tried looking for them at the school library but no luck)
The 1st story was about a witch that stole the kids of this woman. The woman went to the witch’s house to get her kids back, but the witch didnt wantd to give them back. The part that I remember clearly is when she arrives there and the witch tells here that if she wants her kids back she must cut her legs or something similar, so the mother tricks the witch by walking on her knees and hidding her legs behind her.
I dont remember the 2nd story very well, but the pictures. The story was something about a king (and a queen i think) that were planning a party, the picture that I remember very well is one were the king is in his bathtub(or his bed, cant remember very well) and there is this huge tray with food.
