Figures Of Earth: A Comedy of Appearances! A Humor Classic By James Branch Cabell! AAA+++

A "comedy of appearances" -- the story of Manuel of the High Head who, by dint of doing the expected thing, rose from herding the miller's pigs to become the Count of Poictesme. His adventures are recounted with the impudent whimsicality and superb artistry which are Mr. Cabell's special distinction.
