The Young Visiters: Or Mr Salteena's Plan - Paperback
Description
by Daisy Ashford (Author), J. M. Barrie (Introduction by), Caleb Crain (Afterword by)
A sensational bestseller when it first appeared in 1919, The Young Visiters is a most unusual comedy of manners. Written when author Daisy Ashford was nine years old, this short novel charts the hapless Mr. Salteena's rise into British high society and the cost he pays for it. With him are a cast of vivid and eccentric characters: his young girlfriend Ethel Monticue, his conniving friend Bernard Clark, and a rather casual King Edward VII. Body image, class anxiety, age-gap relationships-very little is out of bounds for Ashford's withering observations. Included in this Paradise Editions reprint is the classic original introduction by Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie along with an afterword by acclaimed novelist Caleb Crain.
