The Card: A Story Of Adventure In The Five Towns

The Card: A Story Of Adventure In The Five Towns

ByArnold Bennett

The ‘Card’ in question is Edward Henry Machin – his mother called him ‘Denry.’ This light-hearted story is of his rise from humble beginnings as the son of a washerwoman and sempstress in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, in the pottery towns (which Arnold Bennett christened ‘The Five Towns’) of the English Midlands; how, by his own wits, enterprise and ‘nerve’ he rose to wealth, married bliss and public recognition as the youngest-ever mayor of his home town.
