Overview

Hilaire Belloc’s time in Parliament left him increasingly disillusioned with politics. This satirical 1908 novel offended both sides of the aisle. "One need not know very much about politics to get a very keen joy out of it....Mr. Clutterbuck and his friends are a most lifelike set of folk...”—The New York Times.
