Reviews

Quirky, amused and très British.
'A collection of true stories, culled from Robb's insatiable historical reading and lit by his imagination . . . So richly pleasurable that you feel it might emit a warm glow if you left it in a dark room.
This book is the sort of triumph that we have no right to expect to come from anyone in the steady way that Robb's masterly books come from him.
As Parisian and as bracing as a freshly mixed Pernod and water.
