Summer Fruit is a 1929 omnibus volume by the English author Dornford Yates (Cecil William Mercer) containing the two novels Anthony Lyveden (1921) and Valerie French (1923).
In Part 1, Anthony Lyveden DSO, a destitute ex-officer, is forced to take a job as a footman at the Gramarye estate.
The estate's owner, Colonel Winchester, becomes mad and leaves Lyveden in charge under a power of attorney.
In Part 2, Anthony Lyveden loses his memory, and confuses the two women who love him: Valerie French and André Strongi’th’arm.
The book was published at a difficult time for Mercer, when relations between him and his wife Bettine were getting steadily worse.
