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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1242096\"\u003eF.
