Fairy Tales for Adults Volume 1

A miller's kindness that ruins a linnet; a student selling the body as a bargain; a woman who needed a mystery more than a lover. This unabridged English hour sets Wilde's Devoted Friend and Sphinx Without a Secret beside Chekhov's Anyuta and Polinka - rented rooms, poverty, comedy with a bill attached. Fairy Tales for Adults Volume 1 is spoken for grown appetite: four tales, no gold-leaf moral, a bite you can hear. Contents with teeth, not a nursery lesson.
