The Card

The "Card" in question is Edward Henry Machin. This hilarious story follows his ascent from humble beginnings as the son of a laundress and a seamstress in the last quarter of the 19th century, to pottery towns (which Arnold Bennett called the "Five Towns") of the English Midlands; How, with his own spirit, entrepreneurship and "brave", he achieved wealth, happily married and was recognized by the public as the youngest mayor of his homeland he.


By : Arnold Bennett (1867 - 1931)
