In telling the stories of those children who became notable for eccentricity and philanthropy, Green focuses on [two brothers] - Ned Warren, a homosexual and mover in the international movement of aestheticism, who was determined to lead a 'grand but blighted life'" and his elder brother, Sam, a staid businessman.
