Klappentext
This Christmas, bask in these 'diminutive masterpieces' (Guardian) by the English genius behind Lolly Willowes."One of our finest writers." -- Neil Gaiman
"One of the most shamefully under-read great British authors of the past 100 years. " -- Sarah Waters
"Diminutive masterpieces ... Hand yourself over to be enchanted." -- Guardian
"Extraordinary, lucid wildness." -- Helen MacDonald

In these bittersweet tales, the author of Lolly Willowes reveals her mastery of the short story, celebrated by the New Yorker for decades. Sylvia Townsend Warner is a tragicomic chronicler of the heart's entanglements, from marriages and affairs to widowhood; and a champion of outsiders, whether single women, the elderly or wartime refugees.
Witty and subversive, her stories meld tradition and transgression, with secret sins and fetishes as much a feature of English life as eccentric aunts, country houses and parish churches.
