About this Item

Reprint. Everyman Paperback Edition with introduction by Sir John Squire. Illustrated by Weedon Grossmith. SUMMARY: This is an unforgettable and nostalgic picture of the London of yesterday. The bicycles and horses have given place to motorcars, suburbia has spread its tentacles -- but for all that these Pooters and Padges and Poshes, these tradesmen, servants, charwomen and errand boys, are timeless -- through this book we can hear their laughter again, when the rush hour has finished and the streets are quiet. The Grossmiths were gifted stage comedians. With the utmost economy of means and in the subtlest delineation of character they have left us a representative picture of family life. Said Sir John Squire: "They held the mirror up to nature, and there was a comic face in the glass.their transcript from life appears destiny to a perennial popularity among the discriminating.' CONDITION: Good. This is a vintage item in used condition. Minor signs of wear and use to exterior covers and spine. Some minor discoloration to front cover. Former owner information written on first page. Minor foxing to edges, with some chipping to edges. Book is slightly cocked.
