In Memoriam

Remember silence, tea-shops, red telephone boxes, seaside holidays and Saturday night dances? All gone along with Fleet Street, landladies, mail-boats, amateur sportsmen and the stiff-upper-lip. This book provides an anthology of the work of 40 writers that have composed their own requiems to a vanishing way of life. The book is a collection of the best columns that have appeared in "Lloyd's Log", the magazine for members of Lloyd's of London. Contributors include Keith Waterhouse, John Mortimer, Miles Kington, Libby Purves, Arthur Marshall, Matthew Parris, Sue Arnold, Hammond Innes and Benny Green. From the author of "A Hundred Years on the Road" and "George Cruikshank, his Life and London".
