Nuggets of Romance is a collection of biographies of famous individuals.
If the life of the ordinary person is a nugget of romance, what a literary goldmine the life of the extraordinary person should prove.
Boreham, The Mercury, 9 December 1933.
Boreham could see the romance in the ordinary and had a way of romancing his audience in the process.
Boreham only wrote one biography, but after this he developed an amazing talent for incorporating biographical sketches in nearly all of his subsequent essays, which drew from these lives nuggets of insight and wisdom.
This collection of later essays is thus aptly titled Nuggets of Romance.
Andrew Corbett.
