The Quaint Companions is authored by Leonard Merrick. Though he is not popular among the contemporary reading world, he was best remembered as the “novelist’s novelist” by the then peers of him.

The Quaint Companions is about the tragedy of racial miscegenation. It is, perhaps, the most sympathetic and understanding novel, in its intimate everyday way, about the clash of colour and race-prejudice and racial quality that has ever been written in English.
