A E Coppard (Over 1,100 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. A new collection of short stories from an English master, edited and with a preface by acclaimed author Russell Banks  Originating in the folktale and with an occasional infusion of gothic horror or fantasy, A.

Reissued with a new preface from award-winning and bestselling author Russell Banks, and including classic tales like "The Black Dog," "The Handsome Lady," and "The Higgler," The Hurly Burly restores this enormously important writer to the position he deserves and introduces him to a new generation of readers.…
