Synopsis
This collection of witty, entertaining and memorable correspondence to The Times ranges over a wide number of familiar and unpredictable subjects; from Winston Churchill on corporal punishment and A.P. Herbert on income tax (in verse) to Malcolm Muggeridge on television and H.G. Wells on strike-breaking.
Kenneth Gregory has selected his letters from those that have appeared in the first seventy-five years of this century, and includes some which offer advice on how to get a letter published in The Times. He also provides a summary of the preoccupations of each decade.
