Just around the corner

de Alice Brooks McGuire, Margaret E. Martignoni, Margaret E. Martignoni, Editors McGuire, Martignoni, Shores, Snowden

This is one book from a collection of Collier's Encyclopedia's. This particular file is Just Around the Corner, a collection of stories and excerpts from around the world. It looks like this is the edition from 1962-3, which is the edition that was at my house as a young girl. These stories are classics.
