THE BLOODY CHAMBER
And Other Stories
75th-Anniversary Edition
ANGELA CARTER
Introduction by Kelly Link
“She was, among other things, a quirky, original, and baroque stylist, a trait especially
marked in The Bloody Chamber—her vocabulary a mix of finely tuned phrase, luscious
adjective, witty aphorism, and hearty, uptheirs vulgarity.”—Margaret Atwood, The
Observer.

ELIZABETH VON ARNIM
Introduction by Brenda Bowen

ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN
WONDERLAND and THROUGH
THE LOOKING-GLASS
LEWIS CARROLL
Introduction by Charlie Lovett
Illustrated by John Tenniel
“Wonderland and the world through the Looking Glass were, I always knew, different from

always changing....Carroll moves his readers as
he moves chess pieces and playing cards.”
—A. S. Byatt, author of Possession.

THE LIFE AND PASSION OF
WILLIAM OF NORWICH
THOMAS OF MONMOUTH
Edited with an Introduction by Miri Rubin
This was the earliest version of the “blood
libel,” a horrible myth of ritual murder which
has haunted Europe ever since. Thomas of
Monmouth’s chronicle of these events stands
as a reminder of a terrible history of antiSemitism in Europe which remains tragically
alive today.

OF ACOMA PUEBLO
EDWARD PROCTOR HUNT
Introduction and Notes by Peter Nabokov
Translated by Henry Wayne Wolf Robe Hunt
The myth reveals how one of the world’s premodern societies made sense of itself to itself,
answered key existential themes about the

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY
Translated with an Introduction
and Notes by Oliver Ready
“This vivid, stylish and rich rendition by Oliver
Ready compels the attention of the reader in a
way that none of the others I’ve read comes
close to matching. Using a clear and forceful
mid-20th-century idiom, Ready gives us an
entirely new kind of access to Dostoyevsky’s
singular, self-reflexive and at times unnervingly comic text.”—John Gray, New Statesman,
“Books of the Year.”
