Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, this stunning clothbound edition of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie features gold foiled edges, a ribbon marker, and an afterword by publisher Anna South. A perfect gift for any book lover.
Miss Jean Brodie is a rare breed of teacher - passionate, independent-minded and romantically inspired, with not the slightest care for convention. She soon garners a devoted following of six young girls, 'the Brodie set', and begins to shape them in her own image. But beneath Miss Brodie's self-possessed facade lie some sinister truths and a keen interest in fascism . . .
Set in 1930s Edinburgh, Spark's compelling novel is a masterful portrayal of a charismatic yet manipulative teacher and her influence on impressionable students. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a classic of Scottish literature, exploring themes of education, adolescence, and the complexities of the human character.
