The Sweet and Twenties

Name: The Sweet and Twenties
SKU: SWEET
Availability: InStock

£20.00

Beverley Nicholls’ 1958 history of the 1920s was not intended as a serious history of the decade, “but rather as an album of snapshots and memories”. However, the author’s modesty hides what is in fact a hugely entertaining, gossipy account of an era that he had actually lived through himself. One chapter begins “A few years ago in New York I saw Dame Edith Sitwell sailing through a crowd of American reporters… she was like a proud ship, braving the winds of criticism.” This is the first edition in very good condition.
