«Not the End of the World» is Kate Atkinson's short story collection, published by Back Bay Books in paperback (288 pages, in English).
The book brings together stories of everyday life crossed by a touch of fantasy and magical realism. In one of them, Arthur, a precocious eight-year-old boy, has a mother more concerned with her money than his development; the arrival of Missy, an enigmatic nanny, opens the doors to an unsuspected world.
The stories were originally published in 2002; this edition is a 2004 reprint.
For readers of literary fiction, magical realism, and contemporary British narrative.
