Carter, Angela

First edition. Chatto & Windus, London, 1991. Hardcover, 234 pp. Dust jacket is faded more noticeably on the back cover. Very slight shelfwear on bottom edge.

Angela Carter

A highly original and influential English novelist, short story writer, and journalist, renowned for her unique blend of feminist themes, magical realism, gothic fiction, and darkly fantastical narratives. Her distinctive style, characterized by rich, sensuous prose and a subversive wit, reimagined traditional fairy tales and myths to critique patriarchal structures and explore the complexities of female identity, sexuality, and power.
