A short "society novel" written by Miss Daisy Ashford at the age of nine. The notebook containing the novel was rediscovered by her in adult life and sent by a friend to Frank Swinnerton, the English novelist, critic, editor and essayist. Published in 1919 by Chatto and Windus, with its original misspellings and an arch introduction by "Peter Pan" author J. M. Barrie, it was an immediate bestseller. Its child's view of high society (dukes and earls having 'levies' and residing in the 'Crystall Pallace') and its heavily romantic plot make it an engaging and enduring popular work.
