Product details

Presentation of the Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays by the greatest writers in the world, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.

These editions celebrate the diversity and richness of Penguin Classics, taking us from snow-covered Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a chess game in the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collector's editions are bound in colorful, tactile fabric and embossed with foil.

Few writers have expressed loneliness, the need for human understanding, and the search for love with such power and poetic sensitivity as the American author Carson McCullers. The Ballad of the Sad Café is her masterpiece: an untamed, bittersweet novella about the most unlikely love triangle.

“The greatest prose writer the South has produced... She has examined the human heart with an understanding that no other writer can surpass.” - Tennessee Williams.
