First edition of Muriel Spark’s classic novel.
Mrs. Spark's brilliant and questing imagination has evolved a story of Edinburgh in the 193os which will delight her many admirers and, we predict, bring a host of new readers under her spell.
Miss Jean Brodie is a schoolmistress with advanced ideas not only about the education of her charges, but also of her own place in the scheme of things in which she finds herself. This book tells with all the wit and insight we expect from Muriel Spark the story of those anxious pre-war years when Miss Brodie is in her prime and the group of her tavourite pupils,
"the Brodie set"
, are growing up in a world
which contains Hitler as well as love.
Readers who demand fantasy from Mrs.
Spark will be disappointed; those who require a form of genius in observation, narrative with breath-takingly funny overtones and sheer brilliance of writing will find that this is their book.
