description: 1926. English novelist and playwright, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932, Galsworthy became known for his portrayal of the British upper middle class and for his social satire, of which The Forsyte Saga is the most well-known. The Silver Spoon continues The Forsyte Saga. The book begins: The young man who, at the end of September, 1924, dismounted from a taxicab in South Square, Westminister, was so unobtrusively American that his driver had some hesitation in asking for double his fare. The young man had no hesitation in refusing it. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
