Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Happy Hypocrite: A Fairy Tale for Tired Men" by Sir Max Beerbohm is a short story first published in 1896. A lighter, more humorous response to Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," it follows Lord George Hell, a worldly dandy who falls desperately in love with an innocent dancer. When she refuses to marry anyone without a saint's face, he makes a bold decision involving deception and disguise. What follows is an unexpected journey of transformation that questions whether true love can change a person from the inside out.
