Winter In The Air - Sylvia Townsend Warner, Taschenbuch | Weltbild

This Christmas, bask in these 'diminutive masterpieces' (Guardian) by the English genius behind Lolly Willowes. One of our finest writers. -- Neil Gaiman One of the most shamefully under-read great British authors of the past 100 years. -- Sarah Waters Diminutive masterpieces ... Hand yourself over to be enchanted. -- Guardian Extraordinary, lucid wildness. -- Helen MacDonald > In these bittersweet tales, the author of Lolly Willowes reveals her mastery of the short story, celebrated by the New Yorker for decades. Sylvia Townsend Warner is a tragicomic chronicler of the heart's entanglements, from marriages and affairs to widowhood; and a champion of outsiders, whether single women, the elderly or wartime refugees. Witty and subversive, her stories meld tradition and transgression, with secret sins and fetishes as much a feature of English life as eccentric aunts, country houses and parish churches.
