A humorous, philosophical short novel from 1912 concerning a mysterious figure, Innocent Smith, who turns up at (and disrupts) an English boarding house. 
This was the first book in a series of buddy reads I am doing with my dad of his favourite books. I definitely enjoyed it, but not sure I'm as much of a fan of it as he is. It's definitely amusing at times, with a wonderful turn of phrase at times. but I found it a bit convoluted and more concerned with it's message than with telling a story.
