This, unlike almost all of Margaret Irwin's catalogs, is no historical novel. It really is a peep-show at recent years, so fantastically homosexual that, our London, appears as the iridescent picture of your pantomime or holiday charade. What took place behind the door of which one was required to knock four times? Many wildly incongruous happenings, but chiefly an strike on other entry doors, the 'everlasting entry doors' of Prince's Gate, Queen's Gate, Emperor's Gate, to make them open wide to the rash young adventurer Dicky who got once gatecrashed them, but was settled to 'spurn Kensington, march on Mayfair,' and conquer both the " NEW WORLD " and the Old. How Dicky fought his way to fortune, and exactly how Celia fought hers to independence from behind the Gates of Kensington, by knocking four times on Dicky's door, is told in this story, which dances along as irresponsibly as a soap bubble against its brilliantly understood qualifications, shading from the raffish to the respectable. For any its laughter and absurd situations, it is marked with the humorous sympathy and integrity which may have recognized all Margaret Irwin's work. Margaret Irwin (1889-1969) was educated at Clifton SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL in Bristol, and then at Oxford College or university. She began writing catalogs and short tales in the early 1920s. She wedded children's author and illustrator John Robert Monsell in 1929. Irwin was praised on her behalf historical accuracy in her books, and she had written passionately about the British Civil Warfare. In The Proud Servant she induced generations to land in love with the ill-fated but charismatic Earl of Montrose, Charles I's Commander in Scotland.
