Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brother_of_Daphne "The Brother of Daphne" by Dornford Yates is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to the main characters, particularly a man who seems to navigate a lighthearted and possibly chaotic family dynamic, especially with his sister Daphne, as they plan for a charitable bazaar featuring a Punch and Judy show. The novel seems to blend humor with adventure and familial relationships, focusing on comedic misunderstandings and the charmingly absurd situations that arise. At the start of the book, we meet the protagonist's sister, Daphne, who is determined to participate in a local event aimed at raising money for a mission, humorously referred to as the "Bananas." Despite the protagonist’s reluctance and banter, he is eventually roped into helping her with the event. The opening sets up a comedic tone as conversations about the festivity's preparation unfold, leading to the protagonist's unexpected encounter with a girl in a Punch and Judy booth. This encounter hints at an impending adventure as they plot to take the show to the bazaar, setting the stage for both playful antics and character development in this engaging narrative.
