A S Byatt

Opis

A.S. Byatt's fairy tales and fables are among the best-loved features of her fiction. This volume contains The Glass Coffin and Gode's Tale of the Breton Baie des Trepasses, together with three other stories with medieval and oriental settings, including the title tale.

Recenzje

Those new to the world of Byatt might well begin here, with these tales-within-tales, which one can read as anything from contemporary allegories - such as the superb Dragon's Breath, evoking every idyll that ever fell foul of war or famine - to sheer celebrations of storytelling itself Vogue
