BRAHMS, CARYL AND SIMON, S.J. — Don't Mr Disraeli.

Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1949. "This is not a novel set in the Victorian age: it is a novel set in its literature. The characters move against a background of books read by the authors and their adventures are pinned into time by glimpses of the giants of that era."
