The Ballad of the Sad Cafe


Next to the 1991 movie starring Vanessa Redgrave (pictured as strict main character), there's also a reader in the Echo English Readers series by publisher Klett in 1981. Level d (difficult, so for grades ~11-13), text and study aids. The original novel by Carson McCullers was published in 1951. Romance set in 1930s Georgia.

95 pages edited and annotated by Tobias Hergt. Yellow cover.

I think for the echo series, there are also audio tapes (and maybe vinyl) available. Also sheets by Willi Real. In 1963 there was also a stage play.

I haven't read the book, yet.

Another reader by Stephen Speight ("Moving to Marlborough"). I don't own it and I haven't found any pics online for many ...
