Description
Volume one of Kenelm Chillingly, Edward Bulwer Lytton's novel, opens Book One at Exmundham. Sir Peter Chillingly, baronet and antiquary, heads the household there. He married Caroline Brotherton young, at his father's and grandfather's wish, though he loved another. Her ample fortune bought two farms and doubled his income without lifting his spirits much.
Caroline played, painted, and spoke French and Italian with real taste and knowledge. Her death left Sir Peter lonely, with books and study for constant companions. Their son Kenelm grows up clever, odd, and hard to satisfy. This first volume sets his upbringing and the quiet, bookish world he must escape. Lytton builds the hero from his parents' mismatched marriage.
