Reader's note

A lovely and blue 1958 edition of Cakes and Ale by W. Somerset Maugham! When, in 1936, Mr Somerset Maugham's Cakes and Ale was included in Everyman's Library we wrote: 'Today the reputation of Mr Somerset Maugham stands as high as that of any living English novelist. Unlike many of his contemporaries he has both prestige and popularity. Cakes and Ale, which aroused a storm of controversy on its publication in 1930, is undoubtedly the finest novel of his post-war period, and in finish, caustic wit, humanity, and sheer entertainment is probably his masterpiece. The study of the eminent author Driffield, and the "skeleton in the cupboard" - Rosie the barmaid, his first wife - is one of the most skilful characterizations in modern fiction.'
