      In London. England. Who knows why?Perhaps this rumpled guyFrom central casting or a page of Dickens.He’s taking ordinary usTo haunts of the illustrious,Where even dull pulse quickens. A red felt hat’s dark fingered brim,Food-spotted vest are—him.A mo

      This is marvellous. If you like words, English usage and old-style usage, you will really get fun from this book. It is written in prose and verse. As they used to say on "Top of The Pops" (I think): "I like it, I give it five".
