See tapeet on kõige kummalisemat kollast värvi! See paneb mind mõtlema kõikidele kollastele asjadele, mida olen kunagi näinud - mitte ilusatele nagu tulikad, vaid kulunud, jälkidele, roiskuvatele kollastele asjadele. - Charlotte Gilman Perkins "Kollane tapeet"Raamatusse on kogutud nelja 19. sajandi naiskirjaniku lühijutud. Charlotte Gilman Perkins paljastab ühes oma jutus psühhiaatrias kasutusel olnud valeravi mõju ning teises loos sotsiaalse ülekohtu mõju naiste vaimsele ja füüsilisele tervisele. Lucy Clifford analüüsib muinasjutulises võtmes üksikema väljapääsmatut olukorda. George Egertoni lühijutt, mis 19. sajandil mõjus eriti shokeerivalt, kujutab naise valikuvabaduse puudumist. Ning lõpuks Rebecca Harding Davise sotsiaalkriitiline jutt töölisklassi ebainimlikust elust.

The writings of Lucy lane Clifford (who also wrote as Mrs W K Clifford) were for almost a century completely lost to obscurity, but during her lifetime this extraordinary woman was a friend and confidant of Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy and other luminaries of the day. This collection contains possibly her best works. Her writings, originally penned as cautionary didactic tales for Victorian children, present themselves as a cycle of unique fables of existential dread and alienation, worthy (at their best) of a Kafka or Borges. Ranging from paeans to autism ('Wooden Tony' or 'The Paper Fish') or surreal horror ('The New Mother') this collection asks for Mrs Clifford to be reappraised as a precursor to 20th century and 21st century literature. This collection has been augmented with collages by artist D M Mitchell to show the link to such allegorical artists as Leonora Carrington, Max Ernst and Toyen.

The writings of Lucy lane Clifford (who also wrote as Mrs W K Clifford) were for almost a century completely lost to obscurity, but during her lifetime this extraordinary woman was a friend and confidant of Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy and other luminaries of the day. It was Alison Lurie's masterful study of the subversive power of children's literature 'don't tell the grownups' that brought Mrs Clifford to the attention of comics writer Grant Morrison and then gradually to a wider yet puzzled audience. This collection contains possibly her best works. Her writings, originally penned as cautionary didactic tales for Victorian children, present themselves as a cycle of unique fables of existential dread and alienation, worthy (at their best) of a Kafka or Borges.

It's Lucy's sixteenth birthday. A random meeting at the top of a ski run on Christmas Day leads to a fast moving love affair. Her mother finds out that Lucy has spent the last night of the holiday with Peter. She calls Lucy a harlot and says she will never speak to her again. Her father normally takes Lucy's side but he fails to calm down his wife. Lucy runs away from home to Scotland, mainly to save her parent's marriage. She learns to look after sheep, having rescued an elderly shepherd. She is very happy living with him and makes many, new friends. Her life takes a very rapid movement upwards after she rescues Lord Carmichael, Peter's grandfather from a car accident in a deep, cold, Scottish river. The question is, 'Will this lead her back to Peter'? The first chapter of Lucy was previously published as a short story in Three Lovely Girls.
