The Barbara Pym Collection Volume One: A Glass of Blessings, Some Tame Gazelle, and Jane and Prudence

Anne Tyler has called Barbara Pym “the rarest of treasures” and she's often compared as a postwar Jane Austen. From the publisher: "Barbara Pym explored female friendship and the quiet yearnings of British middle-class life—not the least of which, unrequited love—with sharp wit and deep compassion for her characters. No wonder Eudora Welty called her work 'sheer delight' and the New York Times raved, 'her entire canon is a treat.'"
