Described by the publisher as "a light comedy with a chorus", this is one of the very prolific author's later novels. Margaret Ethel Storm Jameson (1891-1986) was born in Whitby, Yorkshire, and studied at the University of Leeds and Kings College, University of London. She was President of English PEN between 1938 and 1944.

In 1947 he became a professor chair at University College, where he later became Dean of Science, Deputy Principal.
