The Green Hat

A dazzling scandal, a broken heart, and a green hat that becomes the emblem of an age enter Michael Arlen s glittering portrait of the Jazz Age.

The Green Hat follows the magnetic Iris Storm, a modern flapper whose wit, beauty, and secret sorrow pulse through the salons and nightclubs of 1920s London. Set against the aftershocks of the Great War, Arlen s 1920s novel explores love, betrayal, and the restless search for meaning in post-war society. At once a romance and drama, it is a vivid character study of a woman who both captivates and destroys, and a panoramic snapshot of British fiction at its most electric.

Once controversial and out of print for decades, The Green Hat is republished by Alpha Editions in a beautifully restored edition carefully prepared for today s readers and for future generations. This is not merely a reprint: it s a collector s item and a cultural treasure, featuring faithful text restoration that preserves Arlen s sharp prose and social insight.

Timeless themes of desire, disillusionment, and resilience make this literary fiction essential for casual readers and classic literature collectors alike. Whether you re discovering Michael Arlen for the first time or returning to the flapper era s dangerous glamour, this edition brings the Jazz Age back to life with clarity and reverence.
