Publication Details: Grant Richards, 1925

Notes: A scarce novel by the later founder of the Obelisk Press in Paris, in which all characters 'are fictitious with the exception of Messieurs Marcel Proust, Saint Granier and Freud'; it continues the 'light and slightly risqué' (ODNB) vein of his debut, 'Laugh and Grow Rich' - but its lack of readership and poor sales not fulfilling the promise of its predecessor's title.
