They lump all cases of what they consider a like nature together, and to their ill-informed minds I was in the same category as a mentally unsound woman who posts disgusting anonymous letters to her neighbours.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiss Edna Alice is a lady of moral rectitude and many other outstanding virtues. At least this is her own, strongly-held view--not all others agree. This novel is her personal account of how, more sinned against than sinning, she sets about improving the characters and atmosphere in a small English village, essaying many forms of artistic, political and sporting endeavour along the way. Subsequently, and unbelievably, she finds herself a convicted prisoner, accused of writing numerous poison pen letters to her neighbours. The result is one of the most unusual and funny crime novels to have emerged from the golden age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGood by Stealth\u003c\/em\u003e was first published in 1936.
