Edith Wharton's last novel, set in the 1870s, tells of five American beauties whose riches are too nouveau to open the doors of New York society. They set off instead for London. Edith Wharton also wrote "The Age of Innocence", "The House of Mirth" and "Ethan Frome".
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
