The old fairy stories live again, subtly altered. By the prize-winning author of "Wise Children", "Nights at the Circus", "American Ghosts and Old World Wonders" and "Expletives Deleted".
"Fairy tales reimagined for feminist times" Grazia "The Bloody Chamber's interweaving of retold fairy tales demonstrates Angela Carter's narrative gift at its most mocking and seductive" Observer "She can glide from ancient to modern, from darkness to luminosity, from depravity to comedy without any hint of strain and without losing the elusive power of the original tales" The Times "Magnificent set pieces of fastidious sensuality" -- Ian McEwan "Magnificent set pieces of fastidious sensuality" -- Ian McEwan
