This is a brand new series of five of Woolf's major works in beautifully designed hardback editions. Written for Virginia Woolf's intimate friend the charismatic bisexual writers Vita Sackville-West Orlando" is a playful mock 'biography' of a chameleon-like historical figure who changes sex & identity at will. First masculine then feminine Orlando begins life as a young sixteenth-century nobleman then gallops through the centuries to end up as a woman writer in Virginia Woolf's own time. A wry commentary on gender roles & modes of history " Orlando" is also in Woolf's own words a light-hearted 'writer's holiday' which delights in its ambiguity & capriciousness."
