Walter Emanuel

This is a lovely book. The illustrations are what initially drew me in. The text is funny and lighthearted, and really shows its age, but that's okay. Good book for any dog lover or small children.

I actually found the 1926 UK-printed copy of this book from a used bookstore. The illustration is absolutely lovely, and the story makes your heart swell with joy. Fit for any age as a very light read.

A satire on upper-class manners and stiff-upper-lippery. "Never let a lady feel embarrassed. If there is a fire in your hotel, and in escaping, you meet a lady in scanty attire, remark airily, 'Hot enough for one's summer things, isn't it?'"
