This extraordinary fantasy was written in the winter of 1921-22. John T. Unger, a middle-class American boy from a small town on the Mississippi goes, for his summer holidays, to stay for the first time with an enigmatic school friend, Percy Washington. On the journey out Percy confides 'My father is by far the richest man in the world'. 'The Schnlitzer-Murphys had diamonds as big as walnuts' John replied. 'That's nothing', Percy had leaned forward and dropped his voice to a low whisper. 'That's nothing at all. My father has a diamond bigger than the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.'
