I'm always up for something humorous! I downloaded the Gutenberg version in approx. 1 second. As someone who remembers driving many miles to a small library or bookstore with tiny selection, I find having instant books to be like a vision of heaven.


Renee M | 803 comments Amen!

Madge UK (madgeuk) | 2933 comments Do be sure to look for the satire and not take anything seriously! Beerbohm was known for sending up everything and everyone don'cha know:)


Cindy What is a Femme fatale? I read a review of this book and that is what they called Zuleika Dobson. Sounds serious to me.

A Femme fatale is typically an attractive woman who seduces men and then leaves them heat broken. Or she can also be more literally fatal if you think of Bond girls (as in Bond, James Bond)

She is a woman with a lot of sex appeal and no hesitation about using it to get what she wants.
