About this book

The King's Achievement is credited to Robert Hugh Benson. A note of thanks calls several people "extremely kind in various ways during the writing of this book in the summer and autumn of 1904". The text says "When accidie fell upon Chris it seemed as if this particular house was entirely ruined by such incidents; the Prior was finikin, the junior-master tyrannical, the paints for illumination inferior in quality".

The text says "the records had been searched, and the arms of every prior copied and emblazoned in the panes". The text reports that "He has never been near us again,” said Ralph, “but he never fails to ask after my mother’s distressing illness when I meet him in town."
