On sale
28th January 2010
Price: £9.99
A treasure trove of collected works from the legendary author of The Handmaid’s Tale and Alias Grace
Queen Gertrude gives Hamlet a piece of her mind.
An ugly sister and a wicked stepmother put in a good word for themselves.
A reincarnated bat explains how Bram Stoker got Dracula hopelessly wrong.
Bones and Murder is a bewitching cocktail of prose and poetry, fiction and fairytales, as well as some of Atwood’s own illustrations. It’s pure distilled Atwood: deliciously strong and bittersweet.

Savagely hilarous
A marvellous miniature sample case of Atwood's sensuous and sardonic talents
Her wit and humour are perfectly complemented by a penetrating eye for the false and absurd
Full of fun and invention, with an edge that cuts through preconceptions...an entertaining sampler of Atwood's cleverness and imagination
