Description
Stella Benson published this whimsical novel with Macmillan in 1920. A first edition had appeared the year before. Benson warns that this is not a real book at all. It does not deal with real people, she insists playfully.
Real books for real people already crowd the world, she jokes. Her little alien book serves the magically inclined minority. Chapters open with magic coming to a committee meeting. The committee then comes to magic in chapter two. The Pall Mall Gazette let Benson reprint her Mad 'Bus incident. An Athenæum poem called Detachment also joins the fifth chapter.
