really enjoyed these tales set in Potteries in late 19C- there's four stories about Vera Cheswardine, wealthy young bride who constantly overspends her allowance and resorts to subterfuge...then we meet Sir Jehoshaphat who hates the portrait he's been presented with, and tries to get rid of it...and poor, virtuous young Horace who accidentally injures little brother Sidney, and is in the latter's thrall for the rest of his life as a result...Very readable

Much like Charles Dickens, Bennett began his young life at a legal clerk writing serialized fiction in his spare time. The author of more than thirty works of fiction, he is also highly regarded for his nonfiction writing.
