Blurb:One of E.Phillips Oppenheim’s best works. This 1933 novel opens with a fantastic description of the boring, wearisome life of Mr. Peter Cradd, leather merchant, husband, father, slave to his family, stoic self denier, and all-around put upon man in the bowler hat. He is barely able to pay his bills, has a wife who seems him only as a wallet, and two children whose most favorable opinion of him is dissappointment. In true Oppenheim fashion, he answers a letter from a lawyer, and finds out that he has inherited a fortune. What he does with it, where he moves, how he educates himself, and whom he loves form the rest of the story. It’s a great window into middle class life in England in the 30’s and the dreams of downtrodden.
