A Fallen Idol is a novel by British author F. Anstey, first published in 1902. The story follows the life of a young man named Dick Marston, who becomes enamored with a popular actress named Mabel Durrett. Despite her questionable reputation, Dick becomes obsessed with her and begins to neglect his own life and responsibilities. As he becomes more involved with Mabel, Dick begins to see her true nature and realizes that she is not the person he thought she was. He watches as her career begins to decline and she becomes desperate for money and attention. Throughout the novel, Anstey explores themes of love, obsession, and the dangers of putting someone on a pedestal. The story is told in a humorous and satirical tone, with Anstey poking fun at the societal norms of the time. Overall, A Fallen Idol is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a unique perspective on the complexities of relationships and the pitfalls of hero worship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
