Return of Alfred

Return of Alfred, written by Herbert George Jenkins and originally published anonymously, follows a disillusioned war veteran who, after an argument with his uncle and a railway strike, finds himself in Norfolk. Mistaken for the long-lost son of a local family, he adopts the name 'James Smith' and navigates the complications of his new identity, including the affections of a girl named Marjorie. This romantic comedy, a follow-up to Jenkins' earlier work 'Patricia Brent, Spinster', explores themes of mistaken identity and the search for excitement in post-war life.
