The hundred short stories collected here include such masterpieces as "Bella-Vista", "The Tender Shoot" and "Le Kepi", Colette's subtle and ruthless rendering of a woman's belated sexual awakening. Shot through with the colours and flavours of the Parisian world and fertile French countryside, these short stories reverberate with the fine-spun desire, wit and psychological acuity that made Colette unique.
