The Head of the House of Coombe & Robin Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Head of the House of Coombe is a 1922 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The Head of the House of Coombe follows the relationships between a group of pre-World War One English nobles and commoners. It also offers both some interesting editorial commentary on the political system in prewar Europe that Burnett feels bears some responsibility for the war and some surprisingly pointed social commentary. Included in this book is the sequel to The Head of the House of Coombe called Robin which completes the story of Robin, Lord Coombe, Donal and Feather.
