Penelope Lively`s Booker Prize winning classic, Moon Tiger is a haunting story of loss & desire, published here as a Penguin Essential for the first time. Claudia Hampton
- beautiful, famous, independent, dying. But she remains defiant to the last, telling her nurses that she will write a `history of the world...and in the process, my own`. & it is her story from a childhood just after the First World War through the Second & beyond.

Lively writes so well, savouring the words as she goes.” (Daily Telegraph). ” Very clever: evocative, thought-provoking & hangs on the mind long after it is finished.” (Literary Review).
