Copertina di J. M. Barrie: Quality Street (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In this 1901 Napoleonic-era comedy, Phoebe Throssel disguises herself as a vivacious cousin to test the suitor who spurned her. The play inspired the “Quality Street” brand of candy, and Katherine Hepburn starred in a 1937 film. “Barrie’s play has irresistible charm.”—The New York Times.
