"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
Earnest Hemingway
In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway’s colleagues bet him that he couldn’t write a complete story..with a beginning, a middle and an end in just six words. This story was his response to their challenge.
Hemingway is said to have considered “Baby Shoes” his best work.
