Ronald Firbank

The stage-struck daughter of an English rural dean runs off with the family plate to London and a theatrical career--only to die tragically by the bite of a mousetrap in her moment of triumph as a sensational Juliet.

“The novels of Ronald Firbank are, for me, an absolute test. A person who dislikes them... may, for all I know, possess some admirable quality, but I do not wish ever to see him again.”
