About the Author Arnold Bennett is famous for his realistic novels about the Five Towns - the 'Five Towns' being the pottery towns of his youth. His virtuosity as a writer was his manner of depicting simple things and ordinary people in an intriguing way for the readers. He has a warm and kind understanding for his characters, particularly when describing the intricate details of their dreary routine lives. (Enoch) Arnold Bennett was born in Hanley, Staffordshire, in 1867. Arnold followed his father into the legal profession but at the age of 21, he decided to leave his father's firm and moved to London and worked as a solicitor's clerk. He won a literary competition in ""Tit Bits"" magazine in 1889 and in 1893 became assistant editor of the journal, Woman. He published his first essentially autobiographical novel The Man from the North in 1898. His best work is contained in his novels of the 'Five Towns' which include Anna of the Five Towns (1902), The Old Wives' Tale (1908), Clayhanger (1910), The Card (1911), Hilda Lessways (1911) and These Twain (1916). During the First World War, he became Director of Propaganda at the War Ministry. He refused a knighthood in 1918.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good read By Judith Much better than I thought it would be! I think you will be pleasantly surprised, as I was. A story of a man's quest for a better life for himself. Amusing and informative. A glimpse into a different time and the way things were for people back then. Worth the read.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Good Read By Molly D Mr. Bennett had a great sense of humour which comes out in this book. Yes I tend to agree - its an earlier-day Ferris Bueller; the guy can do no wrong - his life just gets better & better, no matter how many mistakes he makes. And, its free - enjoy!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable Light Entertainment By Norman This book has been fun to read. I liked the review that compared Denry (the main character) to Ferris Bueller. It is, however, about a life rather than a day. Recommend.
