'I believe in the flapper as an artist in her particular field, the art of being-being young, being lovely.' -Zelda Fitzgerald
A sparkling collection of 'flapper fiction': 13 stories featuring the iconic women who defined the Jazz Age.
Vivacious, charming, irreverent, the flapper is a girl who knows how to have a roaring good time.
In this collection of short stories, she's a partygoer, a socialite, a student, a shopgirl, and an acrobat. She bobs her hair, shortens her skirt, searches for a husband and scandalises her mother. She's a glittering object of delight, and a woman embracing a newfound independence.
Bringing together 13 stories from widely adored writers and newly discovered gems, principally sourced from the magazines of the period, this collection is a celebration of the outrageous charm of an iconic figure of the Jazz Age.
This fabulous collection includes:
