Buried Alive

À propos de l'œuvre

No one in England would recognize famous painter Priam Farll, as he has lived abroad for many years. He is also quite shy and decides to change identities with his valet so not to be bothered by visitors and admirers. When he does return to England, however, the valet dies and Priam Farll soon learns that "he" is to buried in Westminster Abby with all due pomp accorded a famous person. The story that unfolds is both humorous and full of twists and turns.
