The title novella is set in an English spa town whose air prolongs life; there, the masseuse Mrs Yajnavalkya moves between social classes with a mix of exoticism and manipulation. It also includes «Sorrow in Sunlight» and «Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli».
The edition belongs to the Wordsworth Classics series and includes the complete, unabridged texts. The original work dates from 1919.
For readers of early 20th-century British fiction and social satire; Firbank influenced authors such as Evelyn Waugh and Kingsley Amis.
