(NEW ARRIVAL*) (Cocktails & Wine) Cedric Dickens. Drinking with Dickens, being a Light-Hearted Sketch

Illus. with drawings by George Cruikshank. Jacket. First Edition. Goring-on-Thames: Elvendon Press, [1980].

As he visited historic pubs in London, Charles Dickens' great-grandson began to wonder about the drinks in the time Dickens was writing. He found copious material in his great-grandfather's novels, and here he shares his forbear's taste for "delectable drinks," "enlivening fluids," and "glorious jorums."

Chipping to jacket spine ends and extremities, else very good and bright.
