PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST
We are thrilled that The Unicorn Woman by Gayl Jones is a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction Finalist in 2025.
Turning her unflinching eye and richly lyrical style to 1950s America, Jones weaves an ambitious, witty and moving vision of the segregated South. Teeming with the unforgettable characters, The Unicorn Woman marks a bold new direction for one of the most dazzling and inventive writers of our times.

COLLECTOR'S EDITION
Treat your bookshelf to a stunning copy of Angela Carter's Wayward Girls and Wicked Women
LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES
This edition features artwork by Andrea Zanatelli, gold foil finishes and bespoke end papers.
A MUST READ COLLECTION
This bestselling collection of stories extols the female virtues of discontent, sexual disruptiveness and bad manners.
WICKED STORIES
Featuring subversive tales by Ama Ata Aidoo, Jane Bowles, Angela Carter, Colette, Bessie Head, Jamaica Kincaid and Katherine Mansfield among others.
CUSTOM ENDPAPERS
Reflecting the wide-ranging intelligence and deliciously anarchic taste of Angela Carter, some of these stories celebrate toughness and resilience, some of them low cunning: all of them are about not being nice.

‘One of the century’s greatest writers’ Sunday Times
‘Wicked, wayward or otherwise, Carter’s classic collection is a very erudite expression of girl power’ Mina Holland, Guardian
