About this book
A search for lunch sends Charles S. Brooks past noisy kitchens, restaurant windows and fashionable shirts, each prompting a fresh train of thought. These humorous essays connect ordinary city sights with literary references and fanciful comparisons. In the opening piece, the gift of Sir Kenelm Digby's cookery book leads Brooks to reflect on his appetite, his preferences at the table and his attempts to find something to write.
Spring brings a different set of observations. Vegetable sellers, a junkman and an umbrella mender attract the attention of a writer who hears music in street calls and bells. The contents also include essays on buying old books, Pepys at the theatre and early British reviewers.
