About the author
Born in 1868, Edward Verrall Lucas became one of the most versatile English men of letters of his time. He wrote essays, travel books, novels, poems, plays, biographies, and anthologies, and his work was especially admired for its light touch and quiet humor.
Lucas spent part of his early career in publishing and journalism, and he was closely associated with literary life in London. He also edited works by Charles Lamb and wrote a well-known biography of Lamb, showing the same affection for familiar detail that readers enjoy in his essays.
His books often turn small observations into something memorable, whether he was writing about city streets, books, or the pleasures of wandering. For audiobook listeners, he offers an easy, intelligent kind of company: graceful, curious, and gently funny without ever feeling showy.
