A wry, intimate look at a world of parlour politics and family discourse, Billy Baxter's Letters invites you into the bubble of early twentieth-century New England through the quill of a gifted observer. This epistolary novel-a humorous epistolary collection-uses the charm and friction of correspondence to sketch social class satire, the daily rituals of American letter writing, and the enduring rhythms of family life.

Produktbeschreibung
A wry, intimate look at a world of parlour politics and family discourse, Billy Baxter's Letters invites you into the bubble of early twentieth-century New England through the quill of a gifted observer. This epistolary novel-a humorous epistolary collection-uses the charm and friction of correspondence to sketch social class satire, the daily rituals of American letter writing, and the enduring rhythms of family life. The voices are crisp, the wit precise, and the insights surprisingly modern: a gentle yet pointed commentary on ambition, tradition, and the cosy confines of polite society. More than a narrative, it is a tapestry of letters that folds history, manners, and humour into a readable, resonant whole. For historical fiction readers and collectors alike, the work offers a window into a turning tide of American life, where early twentieth-century concerns meet timeless human foibles. A note on literary and historical significance: this title sits at the crossroad of classic American humour and social critique, capturing a vanished era with clarity and warmth. Alpha Editions now brings it back not as a mere reprint but as a carefully curated edition restored for today's and future generations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A perfect fit for casual readers and classic-literature collectors seeking memorable, enduring laughter.
