Our Mr. Wrenn - The Romantic Adventures of a Gentle Man

"Our Mr. Wrenn: The Romantic Adventures of a Gentle Man" is a 1914 novel by Sinclair Lewis - the first to be published under his real name. Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885 - 1951) was an American novelist, short-story writer and playwright. In 1930 he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. "Mr. Wrenn" was an immediate success, with reviewers citing its whimsicality - 'a story of the ordinary, serving as an antidote to modern weariness'. It tells the tale of Mr. Wrenn, an employee of a novelty company, who quits his job after inheriting a fortune from his father. From this point onwards, he decides to go travelling. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
