The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: A Collection of Short Stories
This is the first collection of short stories by Filipino author Gilda Cordero-Fernando. Dowdy and glamor-starved housewives, the money-mad circle that barely senses the need for social justice, children anxious for love and security--these prvide the material for the fable and vision which fiction demands of its makers.
