Exploring themes of satire and social commentary, Edward Frederic Benson's works feature a blend of romance and supernatural elements. His first novel, Dodo, achieved immediate acclaim for its bold portrayal of contemporary figures, including the composer Ethel Smyth. Benson continued to develop his iconic characters in sequels like Dodo the Second, which captures the essence of the pre-World War I era, and Dodo Wonders, offering insights into life during the Great War in affluent English society.
