Society in a Short, Ask and Receive Edition is the full version of the short story compilation, The Ask and Receive version was edited for a more complete feel and theme, the original was intentionally unedited for the overall message of the book. It has stories of analogies, metaphors, and general hyperbole told through stories told by Canadians, edited and changed to a more poetic version of the scenarios to create an old-fashioned literature writing style. This version adds an unfinished story "Mind" by popular demand to create his impact on society in a more serious term, unlike the rest of the stories put as a smug remark on the society we live in. Mind was put unfinished for the reason of being open to interpretation, in a make your own story style.

Devil Is a Travelling Man: Two Plays by W.O. Mitchell
W.O. Mitchell jokingly called himself the great re-run king, but his retellings of age-old conflicts between humanity and the Devil strikingly display his versatile adaptive talents. <br><em>The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon</em> is a whimsical take on the Faust legend with a distinctly Canadian flavor. Filled with wry humor and set against the backdrop of a timeless small-town dynamic, the story of Wullie MacCrimmon's curling duel with the Devil combines the edginess of Marlowe's classic tale with the down-to-earth wry Canadian humor of "Corner Gas.". <br><em>The Devil's Instrument</em> depicts a Hutterite teenager struggling with conformity in a puritan society. Mitchell's devil in this play is a figure of sympathy, but lines such as "Happy? I am free!" invite the ambiguity of whether it is better to indulge in what seems natural, or strive for the divine. Introduced by Ormond Mitchell and Barbara Mitchell and including original production photography, this collection provides humor, sobriety, and wonderful storytelling with a dash of the infernal. An essential, whimsical part of Oxford's new Outlooks on Canadian Literature series.
