The Boy With the Red Hair is the emotional story of a jaded aristocratic who finds himself overcome with a paralysing infatuation for his young serving boy. Set in the 1700s, it is both a period drama and a study of the power of physical beauty to overcome that most common of common senses - self-preservation. But this unusual tale of addictive love takes a darker twist when the serving boy does not offer quite such an idyll of rosy youth as it first appears, bringing instead intrigue and jealousy into a love triangle that ultimately ends in violence and death. This novella is accompanied by Nothing But A Negro - the short story which, in turn, inspired The Boy With The Red Hair - which tells the true story of Robinson Crusoe and what really went down in that desert island paradise...
