Hopkinson Smith gathers a gallery of types: the major he finds outside Delmonico’s searching for a friend, a decorated veteran of the Legion of Honor, the labourer John Sanders, Bäader and the lady of Lucerne. The stories move between New York streets and European inns, often narrated by a painter with his sketch-box.
Genial, well-observed sketches of character from an artist-writer who loved good company. Download the free EPUB.
