    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    Art. The greatest standard bearer of what the human condition really is?  Or Emperor’s Clothes, cheap gimmicks displayed as all-knowing? 
    When it comes to writing we have our favourite authors.  But what of the authors themselves. What are they keen to write of? 
    For our classic authors; from Poe to Lovecraft, from Woolf to Fitzgerald art in their words, is something to be admired.  From many angles, many views, their stories, their characters interact with art and the consequences fall as they may.
