The Husbands of Edith George Barr Mccutcheon

The fiction of George Barr McCutcheon (1866-1928) proved so popular in his day that he, along with Anthony Hope, the author of The Prisoner of Zenda, invented a whole new genre, now called the 'Graustarkian novel,' a charming product of a more innocent time when the Balkans could be the scene of adventurous romances set in imaginary countries. He also wrote the often-filmed Brewster's Millions.

In The Husbands of Edith, McCutcheon turns his considerable talents to a light romantic comedy.
