Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important
British author: one of great subtlety, great compassion and great
depth - Sarah Waters Elizabeth Taylor, highly acclaimed author of
classic novels such as Angel, A Game of Hide and Seek and Mrs
Palfrey at the Claremont, is also renowned for her powerful,
acutely observed stories. Here for the first time, the stories -
including some only recently rediscovered - are collected in one
volume. From the awkward passions of lonely holiday-makers to the
anticipation of three school friends preparing for their first
dance, from the minor jealousies and triumphs of marriage to tales
of outsiders struggling to adapt to the genteel English
countryside, with a delicate, witty touch Elizabeth Taylor
illuminates the nuances of ordinary lives. Books included in the
VMC 40th anniversary series include: Frost in May by Antonia White;
The Collected Stories of Grace Paley; Fire from Heaven by Mary
Renault; The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter; The Weather in the
Streets by Rosamond Lehmann; Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith; The
Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West; Their Eyes Were Watching God
by Zora Neale Hurston; Heartburn by Nora Ephron; The Dud Avocado by
Elaine Dundy; Memento Mori by Muriel Spark; A View of the Harbour
by Elizabeth Taylor; and Faces in the Water by Janet Frame
