About this book
Wartime speeches have turned the head of John Lavender, a gentle, independent gentleman of fifty-eight living on Hampstead Heath with a sheep-dog called Blink, a housekeeper and her chauffeur husband, Joe. At mealtimes he reads aloud from the writings of public men. The satire runs to twenty-one chapters, starting with The Hero. It first appeared in 1919 under the initials A. R. P-M, and Galsworthy admitted authorship several years later.
