E. M. Forster 
The Celestial Omnibus and Other Stories 

Collection of classic short stories, first published in 1912. According to Wikpedia: ‘Edward Morgan Forster(1 January 1879 – 7 June 1970), was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster’s humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: ‘Only connect’.
