Publisher's Synopsis

A collection of novellas and short stories. The author's Georgia landscapes are peopled by mutes, tomboys, hunchbacks and misfits with whom, in her paralysing illness, she clearly identified. The author is perhaps best-known for "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter".

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
