Synopsis
The domineering Mrs. Herriton dispatches her son Philip and her daughter Harriet to Italy to bring back the baby born of her deceased son's wife Lilia and an Italian named Gino. Lilia's former chaperone, Caroline, goes with them, hoping to adopt the baby to atone for her laxness in letting Lilia get mixed up with Gino in the first place. Unexpectedly opposed by Gino, who turns out to be a devoted father, each member of this trio responds to Italy in his or her own way. The prim Harriet is shocked by the Italians; Philip and Caroline respond joyfully to their zest for life and freedom. The disputed baby meets a sad end, Harriet remains as ever, but Philip and Caroline return to England changed, renewed, and with a greater appreciation for the spiritual.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "They were all at Charing Cross to see Lilia off--Philip, Harriet, Irma, Mrs Herriton herself."
Industry Reviews
"The author knows his provincial Italy and the Italian character as well. The reader's attention will be held to the end of this charming book."
Phelps
"WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD is not at all the kind of book that its title suggests. It is not mawkish or sentimental or commonplace....It is a protest against the worship of conventionalities, and especially against the conventionalities of "refinement" and "respectability"; it takes the form of a sordid comedy culminating, unexpectedly and with a real dramatic force, in a grotesque tragedy."
Guardian (London) (08/30/1905)
