Bluebeard's Egg

by Margaret Atwood

Bluebeard's Egg by Margaret Atwood, published in Toronto by McClelland and Stewart in 1983. This hardcover is the first Canadian edition and first printing, with the dust jacket retaining its original $18.95 price. The jacket is now housed in clear removable protective plastic.

Atwood’s collection of twelve short stories moves between childhood memory, aging parents, love, marriage and the subtle cruelties that can shape relationships. Its stories range from warm and humorous to unsettling and poignant, combining close psychological observation with the wit and precision for which Atwood’s short fiction is known.

Very Good overall. The dust jacket shows noticeable fading or toning along the spine panel and light wear at the edges and spine ends. The photographed copyright page appears clean and legible. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
