City Of Beautiful Nonsense

The City of Beautiful Nonsense was a best-selling novel written by Ernest Temple Thurston.

It became the inspiration for two films. It was originally published by Chapman and Hall in 1909.

As well as being a vehicle for Edwardian romanticism, the novel shares the Roman Catholic faith of its author with its main characters.

It is a tale of two cities: mainly Edwardian London, but also Venice.
