The Grim Smile of the Five Towns is the second major collection of stories written by Arnold Bennett. The book first appeared in print in June 1907. Only around half of the stories had previously appeared in print. The five towns of the title are the conurbation of Stoke-on-Trent in which much of the writer's best work is set.
"The Five Towns" is a name given to it in novels by Arnold Bennett, who was born in Hanley and lived in the district.

He called Stoke "Knype" but used recognisable aliases for the other four towns.
