Miss Jean Brodie is a rare breed of teacher - passionate, independent-minded
and romantically inspired, with not the slightest care for convention. She
soon garners a devoted following of six young girls, who will become known as
`the Brodie set', and begins to shape them in her own image. But Miss Brodie
is more than just an individual with an intense desire to control and mould
her girls. Beneath the facade of this self-possessed woman lie some sinister
truths, and a keen interest in fascism . . . A tour de force of contemporary
Scottish literature, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark is a
compelling portrait of a woman's dark quest for immortality. This Macmillan
Collector's Library edition features an afterword by publisher Anna South.
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a
series of beautiful gift editions of much-loved classic titles. Macmillan
Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
