	Urban Legends Reference Pages: College (Cakes and Ale)

	Amazon.com: Cakes and Ale (Vintage International): Books: W. Somerset Maugham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		If "Cakes and Ale" were only a character study of a natural woman in an unnatural world, though, it would not move and inspire as it does.
		Cakes and Ale is thus a near-sequel to Of Human Bondage, as Somerset reflects on his boyhood days - the terrible conformity and isolationism of English villages; his eventual escape therein - a flight aided in part by Driffield and the central pivot of the man's career, his first wife Rosie.
		Somerset thinks otherwise, although he is remarkably prejudiced, given his relationship with her; but with the concluding passages of Cakes and Ale he gives concrete evidence as to the importance of this wanton Muse, without which Driffield might never have attained his peak prowess.

		Cakes and Ale is a delicious satire of London literary society between the Wars.
		Social climber Alroy Kear is flattered when he is selected by Edward Driffield's wife to pen the official biography of her lionized novelist husband, and determined to write a bestseller.
		The lively, loving heroine once gave Driffield enough material to last a lifetime, but now her memory casts an embarrissing shadow over his career and respectable image. Wise, witty, deeply satisfying, Cakes and Ale is Maugham at his best.

	Cakes And Ale Caravan Park , Leiston Campsite review
		The clubhouse is full of history (for all you WWII enthusiasts) with pictures of the airfields previous use by the US Military.
		Pool table and the local tipple (Adnams) means a great time can be had, and the family friendly atmosphere is definitely an advantage that the Cakes and Ale holds above many other sites I have visited.
		A couple of miles in any direction, and you are either walking/biking through beautiful Suffolk villages, in the forests and woods, or on the beach.
