Return Of Alfred

Return of Alfred

by Herbert George Jenkins

After returning from the Great War, a weary and bored hero finds himself lost in the county of Norfolk. Seeking shelter in a country home, he is mistaken for the missing son of the house, 'Mr. Alfred'. The villagers are convinced he is the prodigal son, despite his protests. He inherits the friends and the odium of 'Mr. Alfred', but he is also drawn to Marjorie, a young woman who has caught his eye. This romantic comedy follows the protagonist as he navigates the complexities of his new identity and the burgeoning romance, all while dealing with the villagers' unwavering belief that he is truly 'Mr. Alfred'.
