About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Sweet Lavender by Arthur Wing Pinero. Read in English by a full cast. "Sweet Lavender" must be regarded as one of the most successful stage-plays of modern times, and there can be no question that it has proved so far the most popular of Mr. Pinero's works. Its representations may be counted by the thousand, and its popularity has extended over many latitudes. The reason of this is not far to seek: it proclaims itself in the gentle humanity and genial humour of the play. ... a sort of modern fairy tale." - Summary by Malcom C.
