The life story of a fictitious Edwardian English nobleman, illustrated with pictures cut out from a store catalogue.
E.V. Lucas bol všestranný a populárny anglický spisovateľ, ktorého takmer 100 kníh je uznávaných pre svoju humoristickú ľahkosť a vytriezvený štýl. Je známy predovšetkým svojimi esejami a cestopismi o Londýne a zahraničných cestách, ktoré sa dočkali mnohých vydaní. Jeho diela o športe kriket sú stále považované za špičkový inštruktívny materiál a jeho biografia Charlesa Lamba je obzvlášť cenená. Lucasov uhladený esejistický štýl často skrýval cynického a horkého pozorovateľa sveta, čo čitateľom prináša hlbší vhľad do jeho komplexnej osobnosti a majstrovstva v písaní.
