The Long Valley is a collection of short fiction by John Steinbeck. Most of the stories appeared originally in literary periodicals, and were first collected by Viking Press in 1938.[1][2]
Ranked among Steinbeck’s “finest and best-known” fiction, these are among the most frequently anthologized of Steinbeck’s stories, widely read by university undergraduates and high school students.[3][4]
Author and social critic Andre Gide declared that several stories in The Long Valley “equaled or surpassed” those of Russian author Anton Checkov.[5]
Both “The Murder” and “The Pearl” won the O. Henry Prize for short fiction in 1934 and 1938, respectively.[6]
