Description: Margaret AtwoodOld Babes in the WoodAtwood's first new fiction publication since The Testaments, this deeply personal collection includes a stunning sequence that follows a married couple as they travel the road together, the moments big and small that make up a long life of love - and what comes afterThe stories explore the full warp and weft of experience, from two best friends disagreeing about their shared past, to the right way to stop someone from choking; from a daughter determining if her mother really is a witch, to what to do with inherited relics such as World War II parade swords.They feature beloved cats, a confused snail, Martha Gellhorn, George Orwell, philosopher-astronomer-mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria, a cabal of elderly female academics, and an alien tasked with retelling human fairy tales.The glorious range of Atwood's creativity and humanity is on full beam in these tales, which by turns delight, illuminate and quietly devastate.Signed by Margaret Atwood to the half title page A fine, unread copy of a first edition, first impression hardback in a fine, unclipped dustjacket. published - Chatto & Windus, 2023 All books are swathed in biodegradeable bubble wrap and posted in strong, custom made book boxes to ensure undamaged delivery.
