The Gentlest Art: A Choice of Letters by Entertaining Hands is a collection of letters curated by E. V. Lucas and published in 1920. The book features letters from various authors, including Jane Austen, Charles Lamb, and Robert Louis Stevenson, among others. The letters are selected for their entertaining and humorous content, providing a glimpse into the lives and personalities of the authors. The book is a celebration of the art of letter writing, which Lucas believes to be the gentlest art and a dying form of communication in the modern world. The letters cover a range of topics, from social commentary to personal anecdotes, and offer a unique perspective on the times in which they were written. Overall, The Gentlest Art is a charming and insightful collection of letters that captures the wit and wisdom of some of the most celebrated authors of the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
