Metamorphosis: Selected Stories

Gorgeous selection of short stories by one of my favourite contemporary authors.

This is a real treat, and reminds me why I read all Penelope Lively's novels and stories years ago as soon as they appeared. She has long been my favourite writer. There are new stories in this collection, as well as some I don't remember from before - maybe I missed them.

The book was bought as a Christmas gift, so the intended recipient has not been able to comment. It looks like a good read from a favourite author.

Drawn from a lifetime of writing short stories with a couple of new ones an enjoyable read, would make a good Christmas present.

One of Britain’s best contemporary authors. All utterly gripping stories and the hardback edition has a beautiful cover.
