About this ebook

A Victorian novel set in London. This novel tells the story of Daisy, a lovely, young society girl who has decided to accept an impending marriage proposal from a titled beau, and she is the envy of all for making such a suitable match. Her joy is heightened by the news that her aunt is returning home after a year abroad to recover from a personal tragedy. Daisy adores her aunt, a woman only ten years Daisy's senior who took Daisy in and raised her after her parents died. Daisy's aunt arrives in London and discovers who Daisy is about to marry. The aunt is horrified and sets out to prevent the marriage from taking place. For silly Victorian reasons, the aunt decides that pursuing the beaux and making him fall in love with her is the best way to accomplish this. Daisy's aunt is described as a virtuous and decent woman who is only acting in Daisy's best interests. The aunt's various ploys and reasons for the above activities take up the majority of the book.

Author

E.F. Benson

Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer. Benson was the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury and member of a distinguished and eccentric family. After attending Marlborough and King’s College, Cambridge, where he studied classics and archaeology, he worked at the British School of Archaeology in Athens. A great humorist, he achieved success at an early age with his first novel, Dodo(1893). Benson was a prolific author, writing over one hundred books including serious novels, ghost stories, plays, and biographies. But he is best remembered for his Lucia and Mapp comedies written between 1920 and 1939 and other comic novels such as Paying Guests and Mrs Ames. Benson served as mayor of Rye, the Sussex town that provided the model for his fictional Tilling, from 1934 to 1937.
