Synopsis

A treasure trove of collected works from the legendary author of The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace

Queen Gertrude gives Hamlet a piece of her mind.
An ugly sister and a wicked stepmother put in a good word for themselves.
A reincarnated bat explains how Bram Stoker got Dracula hopelessly wrong.

Bones and Murder is a bewitching cocktail of prose and poetry, fiction and fairytales, as well as some of Atwood's own illustrations. It's pure distilled Atwood: deliciously strong and bittersweet.

About this title

Review:

A marvellous miniature sample case of Atwood's sensuous and sardonic talents (TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT)

Savagely hilarous (THE LIST)

Her wit and humour are perfectly complemented by a penetrating eye for the false and absurd (THE SUNDAY TIMES)

Full of fun and invention, with an edge that cuts through preconceptions...an entertaining sampler of Atwood's cleverness and imagination (NICOLETTE JONES, INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)

Book Description:
