Product Description
Review
Robbs concise and fast-paced writing pedals along with never a dull paragraph, as facts, events, characters and quotations flash by... This book is an elegy to what has disappeared, a retrospective exploration of that lost world...Dazzling and moving. --Sunday Times

Independent
`...an unstuffy, fascinating and very superior historical guidebook for the unhurried traveller: altogether a book to savour.'
