Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, 346 pp, ills, maps. From the blurb: "There have been various attempts to chronicle theatres and other places of public amusement, past and present- Pleasures of London differs from these in that the author regards the buildings as of less importance than the entertainments they housed. In this survey, his eye is on gaiety, thrills and laughter; on high spirits and the thorough enjoyment of a good cry; on wine, women and song, dancing, dice and the fun of the fair: and through them he examines that elusive thing, the pursuit of happiness. The lovers of good fellowship who made London a city of taverns, who created that extraordinary tradition which causes "three grown-ups to drag one child" to a pantomime or circus, who everywhere left signs of their past enjoyment so that street-corners seem to echo the shouts of departed glee - such people have rarely left their marks in the notebooks of historians. But Pleasures of London is concerned with the present and future as well. Present laughter springs from ancient mirth. The revival of interest in old music-halls, in the ballet and in the rebirth of Sadler's Wells makes a modernist of the historian and, having watched antiquarian zeal grow into twentieth century glamour, Willson Disher believes that the London depicted in these pages may foretell a new world altogether unlike the one forecast by gloomy prophets." Good in a used. torn and edgeworn dustwrapper, which has been laid down on backing paper.…
