An old one-armed flagman who walks ahead of the steam-roller opens this series of linked sketches of Edwardian England. Galsworthy follows a lost dog, the voice of Demos, old age, a careful man, fear, fashion, sport, money and progress, setting the hard lives of labourers and the poor against the complacency of those who look past them.
Compassionate social sketches from the author of The Forsyte Saga, early evidence of his reforming conscience. Download the free EPUB.
