Miss Bracegirdle and Others

by Stacy Aumonier

Miss Bracegirdle and Others is a collection of humorous and insightful short stories by Stacy Aumonier. The stories are set in Edwardian England and explore the foibles and eccentricities of human nature. Aumonier deftly skewers social conventions and class distinctions, while also celebrating the resilience and resourcefulness of his characters. The title story introduces Miss Bracegirdle, a prim and proper spinster who finds herself in a compromising situation when she checks into a hotel room that is already occupied. Other stories in the collection include "The Octave of Jealousy," in which a man's jealousy drives him to madness, and "Where Was Wych Street?", a poignant tale of a lost love. Aumonier's writing is witty, observant, and full of compassion. Miss Bracegirdle and Others is a classic work of English literature that continues to delight and entertain readers today.
