Reader's note

Bold and bright blue! This excellent vintage book will really stand out on your bookshelf! To the Chinese box convention of a book-within-a-book, Muriel Spark wittily adds her own twists of surprise. Her bevy of oddities an neurotics mix, but cannot lose their loneliness of mind. We have Caroline, the heroine, afflicted with 'voices', Baron Stock the self deceiving occultist; Laurence, the amiable but compulsive snooper, and the impossibly pneumatic Mrs. Hogg, warden of St. Philumena's retreat-house. All characters are in part, prisoners of their own minds and fantasies. This brilliantly original and fascinating novel is an excellent read and is the perfect literary gift for anyone looking for something unique.
