Writing about outcasts, dreamers and misfits in the Deep South, Carson Mc Cullers was acclaimed for her sympathetic depictions of loneliness, the need for understanding and the search for love.

This book includes Wunderkind, The Jockey, Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland, A Tree, A Rock and A Cloud.
