Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Colour of London
London and its life of revelry and wealth, of sordidness, of grime and struggle, and he saw the beauty that is in them; and though often enough he has heard the East a-calling he has paid no heed, preferring to die in London than to live in the dainty land that gave him birth. Not that he lacks patriotism by any means, but he obeys the call of his art and lets his country wait a little.
