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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildside Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892095762583,"sku":"9781667667089","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781667667089.webp?v=1781185727","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/papers-from-lilliput-9781667667089","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
