First serialized in 1920 in Scribners Monthly, The Head of the House of Coombe quickly captured the hearts of readers and was fully published in two volumes by 1922. The first part intricately weaves the social fabric of London during the transitional years from the late Victorian era to the reign of Edward VII, leading up to the tumultuous summer of 1914—a time when the world was on the brink of change. Follow the lives of Lord Coombe, Donal, Feather, and young Robin as they navigate a society on the cusp of the Great War, culminating in an ending that signifies a world forever altered.
