Villa Elsa (Dodo Press)

Stuart Oliver Henry (1860-1953) was the author of Villa Elsa (1920). "Villa Elsa contains a family immune from any foreign influence and matured in the most regular and unsuspecting Teuton way. The German household is the most thoroughly instructed of all households. Its members are disciplined to do most things well. How can it then be Hun in any considerable degree? Impossible, said the nations, and so they remained illy prepared against a frenzied onslaught. But a shocked public has beheld how readily the most erudite of mankind, as the Germans were generally held to be, could officially, deliberately and repeatedly as soldiers, singly and en masse, act like their ancestors-the barbarians of the days of Attila."Henry, Stuart is the author of 'Villa Elsa (Dodo Press)', published 2007 under ISBN 9781406553710 and ISBN 1406553719.
