There is so much to love about this book. Angela Carter is the editor, so you know she picked some good ones. There are no idealized interpretations of women here, and Leonora Carrington's hilarious "The Debutante" is included, which is probably my most favorite story ever.

This is a fabulous collection of stories and vignettes, funny and sparkling and full of life and regret (and wickedness). Truly, every one of them is gold.
