Description

Agnes and Egerton Castle wrote The Bath Comedy, printed in London in 1900 by Macmillan. The Castles also wrote The Pride of Jennico. They give the book to their sister, the novelist who wrote as Francis, who was first to greet the manuscript of this frivolous drama with the kindly criticism of laughter. Contents open at the Royal Crescent, Bath's great sweep of stone.

In the Bath of Beau Nash's ghost, rakes, heiresses, duennas, and gamesters cross in a dance of wit. The Castles rebuild the eighteenth century town in its own light, powdered manner. Love matches form and break at the pump room and the ball. Readers get a sparkling costume comedy, all fans, minuets, and sharp tongues.
