Publisher Description

David Herbert... Lawrence was born into a mining family in Nottinghamshire in 1885. He created his finest work shortly after the finish of the First World War. Two of the themes in his writing are the gradual disintegration of the class system and the customs and sexual mores of people across class divisions. What made Lawrence unusual was the combination of this subject matter with the style of his direct, modern prose. He was a great believer in instinct and intuition and this has the effect, as you listen to his stories, of not knowing what his characters will do nor knowing where they will arrive as a result of their ambivalence.

The short stories in this collection reflect Lawrence's broad experience of love in all its beauty and anguish. They are presented in this order; The Horse-Dealer's Daughter In Love Tickets Please Shades of Spring Two Blue Birds Fannie and Annie Samson and Delilah The White Stocking.

"Wow, very graphic and explicit. Not that I agree that it should have been banned, because I do not. However, I see why everyone freaked out when it was published. Interesting themes concerning class division and the effect of the industrial revolution. Quite a shock, but a pleasant one. "

    " This book was more than just a racy pot-boiler. It was a book ahead of its time in its treatment of women's needs and wants. It seemed more of a feminist novel in parts, which appealed to me. Interesting read. "

    " Very raunchy but a good read. Again there is a focus on money v happiness an money never seems to prevail, which can be said for life too. I am glad the characters find happiness, sexually, romantically and hopefully happy ever after. "

    " Very difficult read; large words I had to look up, and the book was steamy. Not exactly my favorite book of all time, but worth the read. "
