Dealer Notes

Despite asking, “Why after a long career of oyster-hood should I prise my own shells open?”, here the “first lady of horror”, serial anthologist and celebrated diarist Lady Cynthia Asquith (1887-1960) cracks open her memories for James Barrie (nephew of the playwright, in whose company Asquith invested with some of the inheritance bequeathed by his uncle), including a chapter on her ‘Breadwinning’ (ODNB).
