Beggar's Banquet

290 pp. Blue cloth, gilt titles. Second novel by the author of Spilled Wine, whose works The Door of Beyond (1926) and When Four Roads Met (1933) appear in the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. "The story of a girl who was on the verge of slipping into old-maidenhood and the drab, commonplace, conventional existence of an ordinary typist. Before it is too late she takes a decisive step, breaks entirely with her past, and realizes the possibilities of her deep nature - achieves love and a full life."
