From his rooms above a Cambridge court, Benson watched the world and wrote. These essays cover the point of view, growing older, books, sociabilities, and conversation, in the mellow, confiding style that made him Edwardian England's favorite essayist. Unhurried thought from a man with a window and time to think. Pull up a chair beside him.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
