WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MICHAEL MOORCOCK

Angela Carter was one of the most important and influential writers of our time: a novelist of extraordinary power and a searching critic and essayist.This selection of her writing, which she made herself, covers more than a decade of her thought and ranges over a diversity of subjects giving a true measure of the wide focus of her interests: the brothers Grimm; William Burroughs; food writing, Elizbaeth David; British writing: American writing; sexuality, from Josephine Baker to the history of the corset; and appreciations of the work of Joyce and Christina Stead.

She was a great writer and a great feminist, and will be read for illumination and entertainment for many years to come * New Statesman *
She was and is more than a breath of fresh air in contemporary letters.She is a bloody hurricane when she is in the mood * Daily Telegraph *
