<p>Thirty essays gathered from London magazines and a Yorkshire newspaper showcase a fresh literary voice finding wonder in the ordinary. A forgotten provincial actor is rescued from the footnotes of theatrical history. A mouth-organ becomes the occasion for a meditation on humble music. The terror of empty railway carriages, the etiquette of refusing to meet one's favorite authors, the strange comfort of a country road at dusk-each subject is approached with the same wry curiosity and quiet delight. Written in the great tradition of English belles-lettres, somewhere between Lamb and Beerbohm, these pieces capture the cadences of early twentieth-century life: its provincial players and country shepherds, its bad pianists and paragon hosts, its small dignities and larger embarrassments.</p><p>The voice is companionable, unhurried, opinionated yet never strident, and shot through with the gentle humor of an Englishman who has read widely and observed his countrymen with affection.</p>
