  Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Hermann Hueffer on 17th December 1873 in Wimbledon, London, England.    
  Today he is best known for one book, ‘The Good Soldier’, which is regularly held to be one of the 100 greatest novels of all time.  But, rather unfairly, the breadth of his career has been overshadowed.  He wrote novels as well as essays, poetry, memoirs and literary criticism. Today he is well-regarded but known only for a few works rather than the grand arc of his career. 
  Ford collaborated with Joseph Conrad on three novels but would later complain that, as with all his collaborators, and those he so readily championed, his contribution was overshadowed by theirs.  
  He founded The English Review and The Transatlantic Review which were instrumental in publishing and promoting the works of so many authors and movements. 
  During WWI he initially worked on propaganda books before enlisting. Ford was invalided back to Britain in 1917, remaining in the army and giving lectures until the War’s end. After a spell recuperating in the Sussex countryside he lived mostly in France during the 1920s.  
  He published the series of four novels known as Parade’s End, between 1924 and 1928. These were particularly well-received in America, where Ford spent much of his time from the later 1920s to his death in 1939. 
  His last years were spent teaching at Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan. 
  His poetry is an excellent example of his talents.  His evocation of the horrors of War are outstanding examples of the time and have become greatly admired.  
  Ford Madox Ford died on 26th June 1939 at Deauville, France at the age of 65.

  In the Cage and Other Tales -...

  Henry James

  Six of the shorter fictions: a woman shut in a telegraph office reading other people's lives through the wires, a critic hunting the secret pattern in a novelist's work, the lesson of the master, the death of the lion, the altar of the dead and the Patagonia. James is at his most concentrated in this length, and the ambiguity is deliberate every time. Fifty-eight plates, among them Tissot and Sargent, gather the tea party, the dinner party and the seaside promenade into a single portrait of the watching crowd.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Paths Intertwined is a heartwarming and delicate collection of short stories that explore the many facets of human connections — friendships, family ties, fleeting encounters, and unexpected relationships. Told through the innocent yet perceptive eyes of a thirteen-year-old, these stories reveal how closeness, rivalries, relationships, and chance meetings leave lasting marks on our hearts and shape who we are. 
  Some friendships are filled with imagination and wonder, offering refuge in a world that can often feel unfair. Others are strained by jealousy, class differences, and rivalry, sometimes leading to moments of cruelty or revenge, but always teaching lessons about understanding and forgiveness. 
  Through diverse characters and situations, this collection of short stories shows how our lives, though seemingly separate, are intricately connected in subtle and powerful ways. With moments of joy, sorrow, conflict, and reconciliation, these stories invite readers to reflect on the invisible threads that shape who we are and how we navigate life’s journey together. This collection is a celebration of connections, reminding us that no matter where life leads, we are never truly alone.
