This early work by Edward Frederic Benson was originally published in 1914 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Dodo is one of the finest creations of E. F. Benson, a darling of the upper echelons of Edwardian society, published in 1893 when he was 26. The novel was fashionably controversial and quite popular, and Benson eventually expanded it into a trilogy (Dodo's Daughter, in 1914, and Dodo Wonders, in 1921). Edward Frederic Benson was born at Wellington College in Berkshire, England in 1867.
