In the surreally delightful novel \u003ci\u003eWise Children\u003c\/i\u003e, an elderly woman recounts the colorful life she and her identical twin sister led as vaudeville performers. And the early story collection \u003ci\u003eFireworks\u003c\/i\u003e reveals Carter taking her first forays into the fantastical writing that was to become her unforgettable legacy. As critic Laura Miller has argued, \"Most contemporary literary fiction with a touch of magic owes something to Angela Carter's trailblazing.\" This Everyman's Library omnibus gathers the best of Angela Carter in one astonishing volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Everyman's Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101907993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Angela Carter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124419395765,"sku":"9781101907993","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c8d8bd92-7cd7-40f6-a6f6-484bedabd9b1.jpg?v=1694551745","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-bloody-chamber-wise-children-fireworks-introduction-by-joan-acocella-9781101907993","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
