Walter Prichard Eaton was a theatre critic and essayist who wrote with warmth, intelligence, and quiet wit about the pleasures of the stage and the countryside in roughly equal measure. Penguin Persons & Peppermints is a characteristic collection of his lighter essays — affectionate, gently funny, and full of the kind of comfortable, confident observation that makes the best periodical writing so pleasurable to return to on a quiet evening.
Charming, unhurried, and an excellent remedy for overexcited modern reading habits. Download this free EPUB and settle in comfortably with Eaton, his penguins, and his peppermints.
