Synopsis
This new collection of extracts from the Daily Telegraph "Way of the World" column covers the period from May 1969 to May 1971. Peter Simple's various styles of writing — serious, semi-serious, satirical, fantastical, nonsensical and unclassifiable — are all represented.
So are most of his well-known characters, from the Leftist thinkers and avant garde self-publicists of Hampstead to the corrupt councillors and opinion poll-maddened housewives of Stretchford; the motoring fanatics of the gin-and-tonic belt, led by J. Bonington Jagworth and the Rev. John Goodwheel (the "Apostle of the Motorways"); and the secular theologians of Dr. Spacely-Trellis's Bevindon.
The period covered by the book takes in such developments as the new outbreak of trouble in Ireland, the fall of the Labour government and advent of the Conservatives, the growth and consolidation of the "permissive society" and the moral and physical devastation of England — events and tendencies on which Peter Simple turns his ironical, nostalgic and sometimes angry eye.
With numerous illustrations by Michael ffolkes

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
