Biography
Cyril George Learoyd's Physicians' Fare (Edward Arnold, 1939) collected twenty-one medically themed short stories—by turns humorous, macabre and sentimental—that trade dealers still catalogue as a high point of inter-war "doctor fiction." Contemporary wrappers pitched the volume as "slices of life" from the consulting room rather than a textbook; Arnold's medical list occasionally crossed into belles-lettres in this way between the wars.

Author
An essayistic volume of clinical observation in the early-twentieth-century British tradition — less a textbook than a series of reflective pieces on the physician's working life and the cases that shape it.
