Happy with each other, Reginald and Sylvia think they just want the quiet life. But when success overtakes them, and the draw of the city, they find parts of themselves they never knew. Where does their happiness really lie?
How well can you ever know another person?
Happily married, Reginald and Sylvia seem to lead a perfect, and perfectly quiet, life. They have more than enough money and their own country house. But when success overtakes them, and allure of London life pulls Reginald in, they find parts of themselves they never knew. Where does their happiness really lie?
Reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh, this wry, intimate examination of a relationship is a gem of 1930s literature.

Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) was born in London. He was a regular contributor to Punch, and later, assistant editor, before the interruption of active service in the First World War. A remarkably versatile writer, Milne went on to become a hugely successful and widely-known playwright, both in the West End and on Broadway, as well as an essayist, poet, novelist and – most famously – children’s author, as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.
