Con este arranque empieza La juguetería mágica, una de las mejores y más célebres obras de Angela Carter: una novela iniciática sobre el despertar a los misterios del cuerpo y del alma y sobre el siempre violento descubrimiento de ese reino del caos y lo inesperado que es la vida. Una noche, Melanie camina por el jardín con el vestido de boda de su madre y, a la mañana siguiente, todo su mundo se ha hecho añicos. Así de simple, así de inconcebible.

We all know a George. He's the kind of guy who's brimming with potential but incapable of following through; he doesn't know if he's in love with his girlfriend, but he certainly likes having her around; he's distant from—but still reliant on—his mother; he swears he'll finish his novel one day.
