Reader's note

This excellent title is a part of the Chatto and Windus Large Crown Octavio New Impressions. The novel itself is set in Italy where, in a renovated castle about the Tyrrhenian sea, Mrs. Aldwinkle entertains an assortment of guests. These include a poet, who to earn a living edits 'The Rabbit Fancier's Gazette', a Mr. Calamy who is a sophisticated Don Juan, and a pair of innocent and charming lovers. In this bizarre setting, and with an abundance of vivacious and astringent conversation, they play out the comedy of their incongruity with one another and with their background. A far cry from 'Brave New World', 'Those Barren Leaves' is perfect for any reader looking for something a little lighter.
