The History of Sir Richard Calmady
by Lucas Malet
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.

Book Details
First Sentence
"IN that fortunate hour of English history, when the cruel sights and haunting insecurities of the Middle Ages had passed away, and while, as yet, the fanatic zeal of Puritanism had not cast its blighting shadow over all merry and pleasant things, it seemed good to one Denzil Calmady, esquire, to build himself a stately red-brick and freestone house upon the southern verge of the great plateau of moorland which ranges northward to the confines of Windsor Forest and eastward to the Surrey Hills."
