Cover art:

Blurb: “In the landscape of American fiction, Carson McCullers' place is unique. A Southern writer, her' approach passes beyond regionalism.

Dame Edith Sitwell writes of her: "Carson McCullers has a great poet's eye and mind and senses, together with a great prose writer's sense of construction and character. She is a transcendental writer. There can be no slightest doubt of that."

And Paul Engle said in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE: "The quality of Mrs. McCullers' art is that, out of the grotesque and the unreal, she creates the most accurate comments on normal existence. One moves into a level of unreality which is simply an exaggerated form of that level on which we lead our daily lives."

This collection presents her unforgettable stories as well as her brilliant short novel, THE BALLAD OF THE SAD CAFÉ.”
