As his tale begins, Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colourful delights of Queen Elizabeth`s court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern, thirty-six-year-old woman & three centuries will have passed. Orlando will not only witness the making of history from its edge, but will find that his unique position as a woman who knows what it is to be a man will give him insight into matters of the heart. The Vintage Classics Virginia Woolf series has been curated by Jeanette Winterson & Margaret Reynolds, & the texts used are based on the original Hogarth Press editions published by Leonard & Virginia Woolf.
