A necklace of pearls and a necklace of diamonds are at the center of these two contrasting stories. The Necklace is a story of vanity, of two lives blighted by the loss of a diamond necklace, celebrated for its twist ending. From the fairytale-like collection Winter's Tales, The Pearls is a story of love and fear.

About the Author
Isak Dinesen was the nom de plume of Karen Blixen (1885–1862). She is best known for Out of Africa, her account of living in Kenya, and her short story Babette's Feast, both of which were made into movies. Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893), a protégé of Flaubert, is considered one of the fathers of the modern short story.

The Best Kept Secret for ESL Teachers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Necklace (Hardcover)
ESL teachers you don't know what you're missing. Students love this play, get excellent practice with pronunciation, and even become familiar with the Guy de Maupassant original. Lots of humor and a much more satisfying ending than the original.
