This 1921 novel, praised for Walpole’s distinctively vivid characters and London setting, was greeted as a departure for the popular writer: part satire, part fairy-tale. Young Henry Trenchard and his sister Millicent are ready to confront a world torn by rapid change and defined by conflicts with an older generation, represented by Sir Charles Duncombe.
