Libraries first: a card gets you most books for nothing. Each opens that service’s page for this title.
> Dornford Yates was the pseudonym of the English novelist, Cecil William Mercer, whose novels and short stories, some humorous (the <i>Berry</i> books), some thrillers (the <i>Chandos</i> books), were best-sellers in the 21-year interwar period between the First and Second world wars. The pen name, Dornford Yates, first in print in 1910, resulted from combining the surnames of his grandmothers – the paternal Eliza Mary Dornford, and the maternal Harriet Yates.
