The Landlady is one of my favourite short stories and students normally do like it. They say it is easy to read due to the few characters involved and to the mystery. And one of its messages is that not always what you see is the truth... Right?
I'd like to invite you to read another short story written by this author: "Man from the south". I think you'll like it. ;)

I loved reading it too. I have already studied it in class with my students and they enjoyed it immensely. Ah, and I saw this short story on TV a long time ago in a series dedicated to "Tales of the Unexpected". It was just fabulous. I missed the opportunity to tape it. Oh, well...
