The Cardinal's Snuff-Box
Available
An English novelist takes a villa in the Italian lakes to write, and finds his neighbor is a duchess, his gardener's daughter is not what she seems, and the local cardinal has a snuff-box and an eye for a plot. Harland edited The Yellow Book, the quarterly that defined the 1890s and then buried them; this sunlit comedy was his bestseller and the opposite of everything he had published.
