For the first time all of Carol Shields’s remarkable short stories – some previously unpublished – are gathered together in one volume.
In the ''Collected Stories we bring together Carol Shields's original short story volumes: 'Various Miracles', 'The Orange Fish' and 'Dressing Up for the Carnival'. Some of the stories in these individual collections have never been published before, and we add to these wonderful shorter fictions a chapter from Carol Shields's last, unfinished novel, 'Segue'.
In these stories the author combines the dazzling virtuosity and wise maturity that won so many readers to novels such as 'The Stone Diaries' and 'Unless'.
