Muriel Spark is a wholly original presence in modern literature. This volume, which contains all her published short stories together with some new writing, amply displays her extraordinary talent; her cool biting humour, unique vision of human nature and extraordinary economy of style.
From her first published story, 'The Seraph And The Zambezi', which won a competition in the Observer in 1951, to 'Christmas Fugue', her most recent work, this definitive collection spans the career of one of the defining writers of our age. Ghosts and judges, priests, murder, intrigue and French chateaux: all the trademark Spark obsessions are here, and much more besides.
