《安吉拉·卡特的精怪故事集》内容简介
很久很久以前，精怪故事不光是给孩子们看的，《安吉拉·卡特的精怪故事集》就是如此。这部精彩的集子囊括了抒情故事、血腥故事、令人捧腹的故事和粗俗下流的故事，它们来自世界各地，从北极到亚洲——里面决没有昏头昏脑的公主和多愁善感的仙子；相反，我们看到的是美丽的女仆和干瘪的老太婆，狡猾的妇人和品行不端的姑娘，巫婆和接生婆，坏姨妈和怪姐妹。
这些出色的故事颂扬坚强的意志、卑鄙的欺诈、妖术与阴谋，采集它们的只可能是独一无二且令我们深深怀念的安吉拉·卡特。
最初以《悍妇精怪故事集》和《悍妇精怪故事集第二卷》的形式出版

The Strange Tales of Angela Carter
Once upon a time, weird stories weren't just for kids, like Angela Carter's Weird Stories. This wonderful collection of lyrical, gory, hilarious and raunchy tales comes from all over the world, from the Arctic to Asia -- and there are no giddy princesses or sentimental fairies; Instead, we see beautiful maids and wizened old ladies, cunning women and misbehaved girls, witches and midwives, bad aunts and strange sisters.
These remarkable stories celebrate strength of will, despicable deceit, sorcery and intrigue, collected only by the one and only Angela Carter, who will be sorely missed.
It was originally published as Tales of the Wicked Woman and The Second Volume of Tales of the Wicked Woman
