«A Cat, a Hat and a Piece of String» is Joanne Harris's collection of short stories, published by Doubleday in paperback (288 pages, in English).
The stories in the volume link the everyday with the unusual and swing between fantasy and a bittersweet reality. There is a house where it is always Christmas, a ghost inhabiting a Twitter feed, Norse gods fighting in Manhattan, a girl defying the waters of the Congo, and a newborn made of sugar, spice and cake.
Second collection of short stories by Joanne Harris and the first since Jigs & Reels, originally published in 2012.
A book for readers of short stories who enjoy magical realism, fantasy and an ironic tone.
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.
