A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the Italian novella for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the Latin novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of novellus, diminutive of novus, meaning "new". Walter Scott made a distinction between the novel, in which (as he saw it) "events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society" and the romance, which he defined as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents". However, many such romances, including the historical romances of Scott, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a "kindred term". This sort of romance is in turn different from the genre fiction love romance or romance novel
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.

A dictionary definition is "an invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot."

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency    

Mma Ramotswe had a detective agency in Africa, at the foot of Kgale
Hill. These were its assets: a tiny white van, two desks, two chairs, a
telephone, and an old typewriter. Then there was a teapot, in which Mma
Ramotswe—the only lady private detective in Botswana—brewed
redbush tea. And three mugs—one for herself, one for her secretary, and
one for the client. What else does a detective agency really need?
Detective agencies rely on human intuition and intelligence, both of which
Mma Ramotswe had in abundance. No inventory would ever include
those, of course.
But there was also the view, which again could appear on no
inventory. How could any such list describe what one saw when one
looked out from Mma Ramotswe's door? To the front, an acacia tree, the
thorn tree which dots the wide edges of the Kalahari; the great white
thorns, a warning; the olive-grey leaves, by contrast, so delicate. In its
branches, in the late afternoon, or in the cool of the early morning, one
might see a Go-Away Bird, or hear it, rather. And beyond the acacia, over
the dusty road, the roofs of the town under a cover of trees and scrub bush;
on the horizon, in a blue shimmer of heat, the hills, like improbable,
overgrown termite mounds.
Everybody called her Mma Ramotswe, although if people had wanted
to be formal, they would have addressed her as Mme Mma Ramotswe.
This is the right thing for a person of stature, but which she had never used
of herself. So it was always Mma Ramotswe, rather than Precious
Ramotswe, a name which very few people employed.
