Orpheus in Mayfair, and Other Stories and Sketches

Basil Wake and his wife Hyacinth exist in the social whirl of London's early 1900s. For years Hyacinth has conducted a discreet affair with Parliamentarian Michael Choyce, who seems to fit into the Wakes' lives so conveniently. But a startling portrait of the mysterious and beautiful Daphne Adeane signifies a change in this comfortable set-up.

His Majesty's Embassy, & Other Plays

Maurice Baring (1874-1945) was an English dramatist, poet, novelist, translator, essayist, travel writer and war correspondent. His novel Cat's Cradle follows the life of an English girl married off to an Italian prince.

British literary jack-of-all-trades Maurice Baring first rose to prominence as a writer of travelogues, which he later parlayed into a career as an intrepid war correspondent. When he shifted his focus to fiction, his prose retained the local color and rich detail that characterized his earlier nonfiction work. The tales collected in Orpheus in Mayfair and Other Stories and Sketches represent a broad cross-section of Baring's oeuvre.

The Russian People

It was into the famous Baring family of merchant bankers that Maurice Baring was born in 1874, the seventh of eight children. A man of immense subtlety and style, Baring absorbed every drop of culture his fortunate background gave him; in combination with his many natural talents and prolific writing this assured him a place in literary history.

The Puppet Show Of Memory

With wit and subtlety a happy picture is drawn of family life, house parties in the country and a leisured existence clouded only by the rumblings of the Boer War. Against this spectacle Caryl Bramsley (the C of the title) is presented – a young man of terrific promise but scant achievement, whose tragic-comic tale offsets the privileged milieu.
