About

A real duke moves into a quiet middle-class neighborhood, and the residents of suburban south London are baffled. He is polite, curious, and full of surprises. His presence turns their carefully ordered world upside down.
With each visit and every interaction, the Duke challenges their ideas of status, respectability, and social norms. Small dramas unfold behind garden fences. Gossip spreads quickly. Manners are tested.
This is a sharp, witty social comedy about class, ambition, and the ridiculous ways people try to impress one another. Edgar Wallace offers a light-hearted yet pointed look at suburban life in early 20th-century England.
Perfect for readers who enjoy British humor, social satire, and comedies of manners.
