Sir Richard Calmady
This is a fascinating study of a man born with his feet where his knees should be. It chronicles his struggles with his disability. Malet is the pseudonym of the daughter of Charles Kingsley, the Victorian author of Waterbabies. In her day, she was favorably compared with Hardy, and The history of Sir Richard Calmady was once described as the best novel by a woman since George Eliot's Middlemarch.
