Tales of the Jazz Age Stories

Tales From The Jazz Age was published by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1922. This book has 11 short stories including The Jelly-Bean, The Camel's Back, The Diamond As Big As The Ritz, and Mr. Icky. These short stories were written and published around the time Age of Jazz began.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota. He attended Princeton University, where he began writing what would become his first novel, This Side of Paradise. He left Princeton to join the army during World War I, though the war ended shortly after his enlistment. This Side of Paradise, published in 1920, was a critical and financial success and was followed the same year by his first story collection, Flappers and Philosophers, followed by Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922. Fitzgerald went on to publish three more novels—The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night—and many more stories. He died in 1940, leaving his last novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, unfinished.
