<p><b>In honour of the centennial of the birth of J.D. Salinger in 1919, Penguin reissues all four of his books in beautiful commemorative hardback editions - with artwork and text based on the very first Salinger editions published in the 1950s and 1960s.</b><br><br>A collection of nine exceptional stories from one of the great American voices of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane and frequently affecting, <i>For Esmé - with Love and Squalor</i> sits alongside Salinger''s very best work - a gem that will be passed down for many generations to come.<br><br><b>''The most perfectly balanced collection of stories I know'' Ann Patchett</b></p>
