Title: Smithers Biography of Dornford Yates
Product review: Smithers sums up the books and characters in a very fair manner. He does not however clear up some of the mysteries inherent in the titles of the books. What he does do is to draw a startling picture of Cecil Mercer as a miserable rather nasty man in his private life, a complete contrast to the characters and views espoused by him in his Dornford Yates mode. One is reminded of Paul Gallico's Love of Seven Dolls where the chief character comes to move, live and love only through the creatures of his own creation.
