Billed by its author as an entertainment, this loose novel follows a genial narrator through clubs, concerts, dinners and chance encounters in London around 1912. Old friends from Lucas’s earlier Over Bemerton’s and Mr. Ingleside wander back in, including Uncle Jonah, and the book drifts happily between anecdote, character sketch and comic observation.
A leisurely, civilised comedy for readers who enjoy the familiar essay and the pleasures of city life. Download the free EPUB.
