The life story of a fictitious Edwardian English nobleman, illustrated with pictures cut out from a store catalogue.
E.V. Lucas fue un escritor inglés versátil y popular, cuyos casi 100 libros son reconocidos por su ligereza humorística y su estilo refinado. Es mejor conocido por sus ensayos y escritos de viajes sobre Londres y sus viajes al extranjero, que han tenido muchas ediciones. Sus obras sobre el deporte del cricket todavía se consideran material instructivo de primera categoría, y su biografía de Charles Lamb es especialmente apreciada. La pulida personalidad de ensayista de Lucas a menudo ocultaba un observador cínico y amargado del mundo, ofreciendo a los lectores una visión más profunda de su compleja personalidad y su magistral prosa.
