Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an introduction by author and journalist Amanda Craig.
A collection of eighteen romantic short stories from the award-winning and much-loved Eva Ibbotson, A Glove Shop in Vienna will show you the great passions and astute observations of everyday life. Join Great Uncle Max, torn between his grand and secret love for Susie, the enchanting glove shop assistant, and the devotion of his opera-singing wife. Meet Miss Bennett, drama mistress at the fading Markham Street Primary whose search for a baby Jesus for the nativity play yields unexpected and miraculous results. And agonize with Kira, a dancer in Russia's Imperial Ballet thrown out onto the streets of St Petersburg and found by Edwin, a lonely dreamer.
By turns comical, satirical, romantic, and always unpredictable these wise stories are a delight from start to finish.
