The Duchess of Wrexe: Complete and Unabridged Edition

Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole (1884-1941) was an English novelist. A prolific writer, he published thirty-six novels, five volumes of short stories, two plays and three volumes of memoirs. His skill at scene-setting, his vivid plots, his high profile as a lecturer and his driving ambition brought him a large readership in the United Kingdom and North America. A best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s, his works have been unjustly neglected since his death. "The Duchess of Wrexe" was originally published in 1914.
