This volume contains the COMPLETE Herries Chronicle, over 1.1 million words that include the four original books, and the two volumes that the author added before his death.
Hugh Walpole, the author, was a member of the Britain Literary Royalty, a protegé of authors of the caliber of Henry James and Arnold Bennett, and his novels are still highly appreciated.
Ernest Hemingway wrote into a short story a comparison of G K Chesterton and Walpole, concluding that the former was the better man, the latter a better writer and both were classics.
The books included in this volume are:
Rogue Herries,
Judith Paris,
The Fortress,
Vanessa,
The Bright Pavillons,
Katherine Christian
