Morley Roberts : Time and Thomas Waring: A Study of a Man

'Here is the much talked of book [Morley Robert's "Time and Thomas Waring"]. It has been a pain for me to read it all through, though it didn't make me slop over and sob and wet three pocket handkerchiefs as in poor Ford Madox Hueffer's case.

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: William Henry Hudson      Print: Book
