Jean draws the reader back in time to his provincial childhood when his grandmother's seamstress would tell him stories that gave him goose bumps and made him jump under the covers. Here he recounts these same stories, or invents new half-lived half-dreamed stories born of objects found in an attic or an old house. The characters have a mythical quality, whether they be fantastical beings who long to be real, like the embroidered Princess Mandosiane, or real people like Madame Gorgibus, accused of being a wicked fairy. The stories fall between legends and fairy tales, a genre favoured by a few Decadent authors protesting against realism and regretting technological progress. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Worth, Jean Lorrain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925652580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925652581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Odyssey Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.00h x 4.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Patricia Worth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940905025791,"sku":"9781925652581","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8bcb143b-6124-4de4-9e74-79dea7dceaf8.jpg?v=1681449832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stories-to-read-by-candlelight-patricia-worth-9781925652581","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
