Stories to go
Three vending machines have been installed at Canary Wharf in London to distribute free short stories printed on environmentally friendly paper, as a venture by the French company Short Edition. Featured authors include Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf, as well as Mrs Robinson, a newly commissioned tale by bestselling crime writer Anthony Horowitz. Readers in a hurry can select stories by the time it takes to read then, one minute, three minutes or five.
