The New Dress

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
‘Waking, I cry \"Oh, is this – buried treasure? The light in the heart.\"’. In these exquisite stories from the genius of English modernism, everyday objects acquire profound significance: a lump of buried green glass leads to a lifetime of obsession; a mark on the wall prompts a questioning of reality itself; a pale-yellow silk dress provokes a painful self-reckoning. Beautiful, strange and pioneering, each piece is a small precious stone to be held to the light and savoured.
