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 Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown In Nottinghamshire    

IN MERRY ENGLAND in the time of old, when good King Henry the
Second ruled the land, there lived within the green glades of Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham Town, a famous outlaw whose name was
Robin Hood. No archer ever lived that could speed a gray goose shaft
with such skill and cunning as his, nor were there ever such yeomen as
the sevenscore merry men that roamed with him through the greenwood
shades. Right merrily they dwelled within the depths of Sherwood
Forest, suffering neither care nor want, but passing the time in merry
games of archery or bouts of cudgel play, living upon the King's venison,
washed down with draughts of ale of October brewing.
Not only Robin himself but all the band were outlaws and dwelled
apart from other men, yet they were beloved by the country people
round about, for no one ever came to jolly Robin for help in time of need
and went away again with an empty fist.
And now I will tell how it came about that Robin Hood fell afoul of the
law.
When Robin was a youth of eighteen, stout of sinew and bold of heart,
the Sheriff of Nottingham proclaimed a shooting match and offered a
prize of a butt of ale to whosoever should shoot the best shaft in Nottinghamshire. "Now," quoth Robin, "will I go too, for fain would I draw a
string for the bright eyes of my lass and a butt of good October brewing."
So up he got and took his good stout yew bow and a score or more of
broad clothyard arrows, and started off from Locksley Town through
Sherwood Forest to Nottingham.
It was at the dawn of day in the merry Maytime, when hedgerows are
green and flowers bedeck the meadows; daisies pied and yellow cuckoo
buds and fair primroses all along the briery hedges; when apple buds
blossom and sweet birds sing, the lark at dawn of day, the throstle cock
and cuckoo; when lads and lasses look upon each other with sweet
thoughts; when busy housewives spread their linen to bleach upon the
bright green grass. Sweet was the greenwood as he walked along its
paths, and bright the green and rustling leaves, amid which the little
birds sang with might and main: and blithely Robin whistled as he
trudged along, thinking of Maid Marian and her bright eyes, for at such
times a youth's thoughts are wont to turn pleasantly upon the lass that
he loves the best.
