"In these splendid stories, Edith Templeton, at her cosmopolitan best, rivals our other Edith: she has Mrs. Wharton's cool stare that sees all round her characters while never refusing us the pleasure of an unanticipated surprise."
--Gore Vidal
Edith Templeton was born in Prague in 1916, a subject of the Emporer Franz Josef. The child of estate-owners on both sides, she spent much of her childhood in a castle in the Bohemian countryside. As a girl, she knew both parents of President Havel, and had cousins who were part of Kafka’s circle in Prague. She courted scandal from an early age with her writing. When she was fourteen, an essay she had published in a student paper created a problem for the government and caused her to be excluded from all further education by the Republic: in the midst of a coal strike, she wrote how well-heated her private school was. She was forced to finish her education at a French Lycee, and left Prague society in 1938 to marry an Englishman. During her years in Britain, she worked in the Office of the Chief Surgeon for the U.S. Army
