Short stories

The Ugly Duckling is a famous children's story about a duck who discovers its true identity. This will be in both French and English.

       Nineteenth century writer Guy de Maupassant is one of the masters of the French short story. You may even have read one of his works in your French class, as they’re fairly easy to read for intermediate and advanced speakers. His stories are often spooky or depressing (or both), and often give an intriguing glimpse into some aspect of 19th century life in France.
