Fine feathers and other stories - Edward Frederic Benson

This second volume of highly entertaining tales follows upon the success of Jack Adrian's previous collection of stories by E.F.Benson, Desirable Residences.These tales abound with Benson's formidable heroines: the redoubtable Mrs Ames in the title story, 'Fine feathers'; Amy Bondham in a sequence of tales; Dodo, Benson's earliest heroine still manages to see off an upstart social climber at her sixtieth birthday party; and the priceless Miss Mapp suffers a ghastly retribution in 'The Male Impersonator' originally published in a limited edition in 1929.
