Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book captures a day in the life of a pillar of Edwardian society and amateur politician, Sir William Richmonds Shelmerdine, recently ennobled as Baron Shelmerdine of Potterhanworth. The opening chapter finds him in a public spat with the animal rights movement over his controversial proposal to remove dogs from London's pavements. This book explores a number of subplots, including Baron Shelmerdine's family relationships with the influential Suffolk Colthursts and his attempt to mediate between the pantomime his young nephew is attending and his mother's wish for him to attend a classical music concert. The book places these social dramas against the backdrop of the writer's insights into the changing social, political, and cultural landscape of London at the turn of the century. It is a rich historical novel filled with fascinating characters, revealing observations of class, and witty social commentary.
