Inventing the Abbotts and Other Stories

Více o knize

The eleven short stories in this collection concern the growing obsession of a young man, John, with the three pretty daughters of the Abbott family. But John's hand-to-mouth upbringing contrasts bitterly with the wealthy society life of the Abbotts, and to Alice, Eleanor and Pamela he will never be anything other than a "boy from the other side of the tracks".
