Description:
Each of the book's six chapters opens with a look at the correspondence columns of daily newspapers and goes on, with a keen eye for the hidden link, to pursue a particular theme. Locations shift from Leicester Square and the Thames embankment to the Normandy coast and the Paris morgue and feature, along with famous names, a lesser known company of acrobats, convicts, aesthetes, 'philistines, ' and mysterious suicides. Rare historical and bibliographical information is presented in an engaging narrative form, while plentiful black-and-white illustrations reveal the wit and subtlety of contemporary artists.
