  Stacy Aumonier was a British writer best known for his outstanding short stories. Nobel Prize-winner John Galsworthy described Aumonier as 'one of the best short story writers of all time' and predicted that he would 'outlive all the writers of his day'. Aumonier wrote over 85 short stories in his lifetime. He has been described as the 'British Maupassant', owing to his captivating plots and his ability to create complex characters with just a few lines of carefully selected prose. His intensely visual prose meant his works were readily adaptable to the cinema screen, and several of his short stories were adapted by Alfred Hitchcock.'One Law for the Rich' is the tale of two brothers, one a rich and successful businessman, the other a poor man whose business only just makes ends meet. At a cousin's funeral, both men catch a stinking cold. One is able to afford the best doctors and medicines London can provide...the other must rely on home remedies. But how will each invalid fare?

  They were princesses that were never supposed to inherit the throne, but to live happily ever after with their princes. 
  Everything changed when a mass slaughter took the lives of the generation before, leaving an elderly king with no heirs, save them. 
  Felicia rules the kingdom with a heavy heart, separated from her long term love to love a man who makes her choose; love or the throne. 
  Eva, the sickly but strong-hearted princess, and James, the navy commodore and trusted advisor of Felecia, no longer have to hide their long term love affair. 
  Eva and James think they finally have peace after being separated for 15 years by Eva's arranged marriage: an alliance once made to help fortify the country. 
  Now, Felicia must choose her own love and happiness or the throne. 
  Will she disrupt the finally peaceful and relaxing lives of Eva and James to have them take the throne? 
  Or will she choose to live in misery without the man she loves; a man she cannot marry? 
  “The Uncertain Throne” makes us realize what we must do in the most desperate of times and realize our true self. 
  Not all of us would respond the same way; not all of us would become the same person or make the same choices we think we would make. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  In 1894, Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) published two collections of aphorisms: A Few Maxims For The Instruction Of The Over-Educated, in the Saturday Review newspaper, and Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young, in the Oxford student magazine The Chameleon. By turns witty, intellectual, counter-intuitive and obtruse, the collections came to be seen by many as emblematic of Wilde's style, and countless collections of Wildean aphorisms have since been published.
