ISBN: 9780142002520 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Are some of the world's most talented children's book authors essentially children themselves?

" The book] I'll be pressing into people's hands forever is "Lolly Willowes," the 1926 novel by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It tells the story of a woman who rejects the life that society has fixed for her in favor of freedom and the most unexpected of alliances. It completely blindsided me: Starting as a straightforward, albeit beautifully written family saga, it tips suddenly into extraordinary, lucid wildness." - Helen Macdonald in The New York Times Book Review's "By the Book." In Lolly Willowes, Sylvia Townsend Warner tells of an aging spinster's struggle to break way...
