"A perfect book." -- Chicago Tribune

"A gloriously witty and polished vignette." -- Times Literary Supplement

"Admirably written, beautifully constructed, extremely amusing, and deeply serious." -- Saturday Review

The elegantly styled classic story of a young, unorthodox teacher and her special--and ultimately dangerous--relationship with six of her students. Published in 1961 and adapted for the stage in 1966, this story of an eccentric Edinburgh teacher who inspires cultlike reverence in her young students was Spark's best-known work.

Book was terse and choppy. Not one of my favorites.
