Reader's note

W. Somerset Maugham's classic book Cakes and Ale is available in this beautiful shade of pink from publisher Evergreen! Read the story of a biographer who is asked to gloss over the more scandalous aspects of his friend's life. Most notably his relationship with his first wife Rosie - Quentin Forde was a stocky little man with a fine head of the type that was afterward for a time much admired in the moving pictures, a straight nose and handsome eyes, neatly cropped gray hair, and a black moustache; if he had been four or five inches taller he would have been the perfect type of the villain of melodrama. He was known to be very "well connected," and he was affluent; his only occupation was to cultivate the arts. He went to all the first nights and all the private views. He had the amateur's severity, and cherished for the productions of his contemporaries a polite but sweeping contempt. I discovered that he did not come to the Driffields' because Edward was a genius, but because Rosie was beautiful. - full of heart and vintage charm, this book will look marvellous in any library!
