Sherwood Anderson’s “A Death In The Woods”‚ is a short story about the life and death of an old woman named Mrs. Grimes. The narrator is a man who is recalling this story from childhood.

Throughout most of the story we are under the impression that the narrator’s memories are fabricated due to the fact that it happened so long ago. The story is rich with details.

Through Death’s narration of Liesel’s life story‚ he tells us that sometimes there are beautiful stories like hers secluded amongst all of the destruction and grief he has witnessed.
