This collection of 58 of the world's shortest stories proves that small is beautiful.

'Mini sagas' have one rigid rule: they must be 50 words only – not one less, not one more. Yet within the 50 words you must have a beginning, a middle and an end, just like a full length novel.

Witty, thought-provoking and brilliantly crafted, you will be unable to resist turning the page to read the next one. The book has been designed and edited by Rory Carroll.
