Hardback in Dust Wrapper. Hardback in dust wrapper ). Physically 7¼" x 4½" (0.5 kg); 352pp; Index; Cover art by Gordon F. Huntley; With Photographs From the Times. In the National Anthologies series. London is many cities. It is the city of royalty and of the Cockney, of business kings and Chelsea artists, of the East End pub and the glamorous night life of Mayfair, of roaring streets and peaceful parks. Its literature is rich, for many writers over many centuries have tried to set down in words the nobility, the gaiety, the activity, the courage, the beauty and pageantry of this great city. No one person could hope to succeed, but this anthology brings together much of the best that has been written about London, from the days of Chaucer, through Pepys, Addison and Dickens to contemporaries such as John Betjeman and Norman Collins. || The book is on my shelves and will be carefully packed and posted from the pastoral paradise of Peasedown St. John, Bath, by a real bookseller in a real book shop - with my personal guarantee and my beady eye on the Consumer Contracts Regulations. REMEMBER! Buying my copy means the bookshop Jack Russells get their supper! My Book #159242|| Condition: Good+ - in Good+ DJ. Edges of DJ somewhat ruffled, front flap creased.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good/Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Reprint. From the sixteenth-century Chronicles of Holinshed to the twentieth-century Manchester Guardian runs the thread from which is woven a "complex tapestry of scene, industry and personality". History, Customs, Places, Character and Comedy contribute to this cavalcade of England seen through her literature, but the scope of the book is more comprehensive than any list can show. Mr. Brown's "observation with extensive view" ranges far and wide, evoking a mood in which lives and breathes the spirit that is England. This book is both for the visitor from abroad, curious about customs and affairs, and for the British reader, conscious of his heritage. From its urbane blend of familiar and unfamiliar, ancient and modern, lore and laughter, emerges understanding. Illustrated. Some wear and tear to D/J. Price clipped.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic, Scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
