""Mr. Witt's Widow: A Frivolous Tale"" is a novel written by Anthony Hope and first published in 1892. The story revolves around the character of Mr. Witt, a wealthy man who dies suddenly, leaving behind his young and attractive widow, Mrs. Witt. The novel follows the various suitors who come to woo Mrs. Witt, including a young artist, a middle-aged lawyer, and a wealthy businessman. However, Mrs. Witt is not interested in any of them and instead becomes involved in a scandalous affair with a young man who is not what he seems. The novel is a satirical look at the upper-class society of the time and explores themes of love, marriage, and social status.
