The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories

Descripción

Discover Angela Carter's classic feminist retelling of favourite fairy tales woven in seductive, luminous storytelling.

From familiar fairy tales and legends – Red Riding Hood, Bluebeard, Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, vampires and werewolves – Angela Carter has created an absorbing collection of dark, sensual, fantastic stories.
