E. F. Benson

"Colin: A Novel" by E. F. Benson, published in 1923, follows the Stanier family from their origins in the early 1600s when the first Colin Stanier made a Faustian pact with the devil, to the year 1900, where his descendant attempts to deceive his way into claiming the family inheritance. The novel explores themes of ambition and moral decay, featuring a notable cameo by Queen Elizabeth I. This work reflects on the consequences of ancestral choices and the lingering effects of past sins on future generations.
