Berry and Co. by Dornford Yates

"Berry and Co." by Dornford Yates is a collection of comic short stories published in 1921. The book follows five upper-class characters—Bertram 'Berry' Pleydell, his wife Daphne, her brother Boy, cousin Jonah Mansel, and Jonah's sister Jill—as they navigate life between their Hampshire estate and London residence in 1919-1920. Through witty banter, domestic mishaps, and comic adventures, the stories captured readers with their humor and charm, becoming enormously popular and reprinted annually until World War II.
