A beguiling doorway into Victorian England, where wit, longing, and propriety jostle for breathing room. A hand-stitched collection that glides from delicate social comedy to sharp moral satire, inviting readers to glimpse the manners and mysteries that shaped an era. Cecil Castlemaine's Gage, Lady Marabout's Troubles, and Other Stories gathers Ouida's deft short fiction into a lucid, accessible tapestry of romance and intrigue, propriety and rebellion. This is not mere nostalgia; it is a precise, compassionate portrait of victorian england and european aristocracy, voiced with modern lucidity by a master writer. The stories work as a concise short story collection that rewards both casual readers and serious students of classic fiction, offering clear themes, memorable character studies, and subtle social critique that resonates today. Historically significant as a posthumous beacon of Ouida's bold storytelling, the volume stands as a touchstone for those who love classic literary fiction and moral satire themes. It speaks to wilkie collins fans and george eliot enthusiasts alike, while remaining deeply approachable for for classic fiction readers and literature students diving into era, tone, and craft. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
