Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.

Often described as the father of the modern short story, there is perhaps no other writer more closely associated with the form than Guy de Maupassant. Included here is his most famous story, ‘Boule de Suif’, as well as tales of love, such as the brilliant ‘Happiness’, and the supernatural, like the chilling ‘The Horla’.
