Scott Fitzgerald's best-loved and most beguiling stories, together in a single volume\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1928, while struggling with his novel \u003ci\u003eTender Is the Night, \u003c\/i\u003e Fitzgerald began writing a series of stories about Basil Duke Lee, a fictionalized version of his younger self. Drawing on his childhood and adolescent experiences, Fitzgerald wrote nine tales that were published in the \u003ci\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/i\u003e about his life from the time he was an eleven-year-old boy living in Buffalo, New York, until he entered Princeton University in 1913. Then from 1930 to 1931, with \u003ci\u003eTender Is the Night\u003c\/i\u003e still unfinished, Fitzgerald wrote five more stories (also published in the \u003ci\u003ePost)\u003c\/i\u003e that centered around Josephine Perry, Basil's female counterpart. Although Fitzgerald intended to combine the fourteen Basil Lee and Josephine Perry stories into a single work, he never succeeded in doing so in his lifetime. Here, \u003ci\u003eThe Basil and Josephine Stories\u003c\/i\u003e brings together in one volume the complete set, resulting in one of Fitzgerald's most charming and evocative works\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 8.02 x 5.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 24, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47485667442866,"sku":"9780684826189","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/6ea3b97e0354163b73818746be91ab08.webp?v=1779292138","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-basil-and-josephine-stories-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
