Somerset Maugham. This book was originally published in 1921. In his preface the author wrote 'I was travelling from Honolulu to Pago-Pago on my way to Samoa, and on the same ship were various persons who attracted my attention. A story came into my head. I made a note of it and put it aside. It is the last one in this book...I had always had a romantic notion of the South Seas, I had read of those magic islands in the books of Herman Melville, Pierre Loti and Robert Louis Stevenson, but what I saw was very different from what I had read. It was not nearly so romantic, but it was wonderful all the same, and one story after another occurred to me and was duly jotted down in brief in the book in which from day to day I described the persons and places I saw'. - This introduction is a truly fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of england's best authors.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55137931264379,"sku":"10288652","price":9.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_486169_jpg.jpg?v=1741273928","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/w-somerset-maughams-trembling-of-a-leaf-collins","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
