Synopsis
Centre stage in Angela Carter's unruly tale of the Flower Power generation is Joseph - a decadent, disorientated rebel without a cause. A self styled nihilist, whose girlfriend has abandoned him, Joseph has decided to give up existing. But his concerned neighbours and friends have other plans. In an effort to join in with the spirit of protest which motivates his contemporaries, Joseph frees a badger from a local zoo; sends a turd airmail to the President of America;falls in love with the mother of his bestfriend;and accompanied by the strains of an old man's violin, celebrates Christmas Eve in a bewildering state of sexual discovery. But has he found the Meaning of Life?

About the Author
One of Britain's most original writers, Angela Carter published her first novel, SHADOW DANCE, in 1965. THE MAGIC TOYSHOP won the 1969 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and SEVERAL PERCEPTIONS the 1968 Somerset Maugham Prize. Carter's death in 1992 'robbed the English literary scene of one of its most vivacious and compelling voices' (INDEPENDENT).
Review
'The importance of this early novel by Angela Carter lies in the fact that it gives a picture of the swinging sixties without the romantic gloss of middle-aged memories'. Sunday Times
