Comedies of Courtship (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Anthony Hope

Overview

“The stories are without exception bright, racy, readable, clever.” So writes the London Literary World in its review of this collection of tales, which includes the popular narrative, “The Wheel of Love.” As comedies these stories are filled with wit, ingenuity, and satire and while the plots are varied, each possesses a light romantic spirit.
