What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Proof Copy

'American Ghosts and Old World Wonders' contains nine stories by this noted feminist author. Posthumously published, half of this anthology deal with American folklore, and the other half with older myths and fairytales. 

With an introduction by Susannah Clapp. 

Angela Carter was noted for her feminist works, which straddled the genres of magical realism and picaresque. 'The Bloody Chamber' is possibly one of her best known collections, which was first published in 1979. 

A scarce uncorrected proof of this noted twentieth century author's works.
