Shops and Houses (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Frank Swinnerton

Overview

A humorous and exquisitely drawn portrait of small-town snobbishness, Shops and Houses tells the story of one of the town’s finest families, and the black sheep who has the nerve to return home to work as a grocer. Of course complications ensue, but true love tends to conquer all.

About the Author

Frank Arthur Swinnerton (1884–1982) was an English novelist, literary critic, biographer, and essayist. Upon his death he was one of the last links to such nineteenth-century writers as H. G. Wells, John Galsworthy, and Arnold Bennett. He considered Harvest Comedy and The Georgian Literary Scene to be his best books, but felt that neither had any lasting importance—as he thought himself lazy!
