About The Author

Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) – poet, novelist, dramatist, artist, musician, choreographer, film-maker, and actor – was one of the most talented Frenchmen of the twentieth century and a leading figure in the Surrealist movement. In addition to his popular novel Les Enfants terribles (1929), he is best remembered in the English-speaking world for the film of Orph-e (1950) and perhaps his play La Machine infernale (1934).

The lasting feeling that his work leaves is one of happiness; not of course in the sense that it excludes suffering, but because, in it, nothing is rejected, resented or regretted

Cocteau's tale of young beauties whose isolation leads them towards premature decay…a genuine tragedy
