Cranford & Selected Short Stories (Wordsworth Classics)

Book seems to be used and old. Tears and folds mark the back cover. Pages seemed to have aged with time. Can the customer be a little respected here is all I ask.

I recently have discovered Elizabeth Gaskell, after reading North and South I wanted to get a better idea of her writing so I thought this would be a great book. Some of the stories were wonderful. My favorite being one of her most well known Crandford followed by Mr. Harrison's Confessions. These two stories were so well-written and were surprisingly quite funny. Some of the stories I found quite dull and I could just about finish them. Lois the witch was one of them. I found myself just wanting to skip to the next story, I had to force myself to finish it.The majority of the stories were interesting and well written so this book is a good buy. There is quite a variety in the types of stories included. Although since they are only short stories a lot of the ending are abrupt and disappointing.North and south is so far my top read from Elizabeth Gaskell followed by Wives and Daughters.

Cranford was my required text for my English 0-level exam. I didn't remember much about it, so this brought back the delightful village story.

I love these ladies and there take on the world; their joy and sorrows is very real and sometimes hillarious

Product as described. Very happy with the purchase.
