A Little Literature: Reading - Writing - Argument

Featuring the smallest trim size and page count of any comparable anthology, this appealing new three-genre collection encourages students to experience the pleasures of reading literature. A Little Reading, Writing, and Argument offers a compact and economical alternative to bulky anthologies.
