Writing to his grown daughter Alexa while she is away, a self-described “writing sort of man” tries to say on paper what he never manages face to face. The letters range over going to church, the glamour of the stage, the rudeness of women, fashion, flirtation and why women understand neither men nor boys, in a voice by turns affectionate, opinionated and old-fashioned.
An entertaining period piece from a founder of the Fabian Society, whose views on women are very much those of his day. Download the free EPUB.
