Published in the first winter of the Great War to raise money for the Queen’s Work for Women Fund, this lavish gift book gathered contributions from the most popular writers of the day. J. M. Barrie opens with A Holiday in Bed; Hall Caine, G. A. Birmingham and Rider Haggard, with his Zulu tale Magepa the Buck, follow, along with Kipling’s verses Big Steamers.
A charming wartime miscellany and a record of what Britain read in 1914. Download the free EPUB.
