"This collection of 28 short stories, first published in 1937 and now in English translation for the first time, introduced readers to one of Argentina's most original and iconic authors. Here in her fiction debut we discover the pureset form of what would become Silvina Ocampo's signature style over the years: lyrical, oneiric, and menacing. Delicately crafted, intensely visual, deeply personal stories explore the nature of memory, family ties, and the difficult imbalances of love."--Publisher.
