«A Cat, a Hat and a Piece of String» is Joanne Harris's collection of short stories, published by Transworld Publishers Limited in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Stories that combine the everyday with the unexpected: a house where it is always Christmas, a ghost who lives on Twitter, a girl in the Congo and Norse gods in Manhattan coexist with tales of magical realism and fantasy. Harris, author of Chocolat, shows her narrative versatility here, between irony, sensitivity and the fantastic.
Second collection of short stories by Joanne Harris; the volume was originally published in 2012 and this paperback edition dates from 2014.
For readers of short stories and for followers of Joanne Harris's fiction who enjoy magical realism and contemporary fantasy.
Joanne Michèle Sylvie Harris is a British author, best known for her 1999 novel Chocolat, which was adapted into a film of the same name. Born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, of a French mother and a British father, she was a teacher of French for 15 years and had published three novels during this period before the surprise success of Chocolat enabled her to write full time. Since then she has written over 30 books in a number of genres, including fantasy, psychological thriller, novellas, short stories and non-fiction. Harris' books often feature themes of women's empowerment, folklore, motherhood, community, outsiders and outcasts, and food.
