Great Granny Webster
ISBN: 9781590170076 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Great Granny Webster is Caroline Blackwood's masterpiece.

Great Granny Webster herself is a fabulous monster, the chilliest of matriarchs, presiding with steely self-regard over a landscape of ruined lives.
