ISBN The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie book English Hardcover 168 pages

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 womans dark quest for immortality. This Macmillan Collectors Library edition features an afterword by publisher Anna South. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collectors Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much-loved classic titles. Macmillan Collectors Library are books to love and treasure.
