Introduction
"The Brother of Daphne " is a novel written by Dornford Yates. Daphne is `well-born, elegant, beautiful, and not especially bright'. In this, Yates' earliest collection of stories, we first meet the Pleydell clan and encounter their high-spirited comic adventures. It is a world of Edwardian gentility and accomplished farce that brought the author instant fame when the stories appeared singly in Windsor Magazine.
