\”I believe in the flapper as an artist in her particular field, the art of being – being young, being lovely.\” — Zelda Fitzgerald

Edited and introduced by David M. Earle

Vivacious, charming, irreverent, the flapper is a girl who knows how to have a roaring good time.

In this collection of short stories, she’s a partygoer, a socialite, a student, a shopgirl, and an acrobat. She bobs her hair, shortens her skirt, searches for a husband and scandalises her mother. She’s a glittering object of delight, and a woman embracing a newfound independence.

Bringing together stories from widely adored writers and newly discovered gems, principally sourced from the magazines of the period, this collection is a celebration of the outrageous charm of an iconic figure of the Jazz Age.

• Zelda Fitzgerald \”What Became of the Flapper\”
• Dana Ames \”The Clever Little Fool\”
