Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.
A countess with a card trick; love letters filled with deception; a desperate man with a pistol.'The Queen of Spades', one of Pushkin's most popular and chilling stories, is accompanied here by the thrilling 'Dubrovsky' and unforgettable 'Tales of Belkin'.
