More about the book

Shot through with his mercurial wit, quicksilver prose and heady, intoxicating sensuality, Nabokov's novel of a middle-aged Englishman's passion for a honey-hued, delicately pubescent twelve-year-old American girl, has become one of the world's great love stories. It is published here for the first time in Penguin. (Source: back cover)
