The Dressmaker's Child (Pocket Penguins Series)
Author(s): William Trevor
Every book tells a story . . . And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. William Trevor has won just about every literary award possible and he is frequently described by critics as the best short-story writer alive. His novels and short stories have been published in Penguin for the last forty years. The Dressmaker's Child contains two stories chosen by the author from recent collections together with a story appearing in book form for the first time.
