These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Lucy Mangan. Confined to her attic bedroom and isolated from her newborn baby the nameless narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper keeps a secret diary in which she records the sprawling and shifting patterns of the room's lurid yellow wallpaper as she slowly sinks into madness. This chilling story is based on the author's own experience of depression. In Herland a trio of men set out to discover an all - female community rumoured to be hidden deep in the jungle. What they find surprises them all; they re captured by women who for two thousand years have lived in a peaceful and prosperous utopia without men.
