Comedies of Courtship
By Anthony Hope
- Release Date: 1933-07-08
- Genre: Short Stories
- Free
Description
These six short stories by the author of "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "The Dolly Dialogues", are all reasonably witty, ingenious, and agreeably satirical. Two of them are long enough to be called "novelettes", if one were inclined to be particular about small literary classifications.
