Kassandra and the Wolf

Six-year-old Kassandra is given a doll: 'I put her to sleep in her box, but first I cut off her legs and arms so she'd fit,' she tells us, 'Later, I cut her head off too, so she wouldn't be so heavy. Now I love her very much.' Kassandra is an unforgettable narrator, a perfect, brutal guide to childhood as we've never seen it - a journey that passes through the looking glass but finds the darkest corners of the real world. This edition brings Kassandra and the Wolf back into print - a tour de force and, as Karapanou liked to call it, a scary monster of a book.
