Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Chronicle of Small Beer
HE was never part of my real life. If you can imagine a kind of polite night mare in a black swallow-tail coat and white duck trousers, you have an idea of how for many years he flitted through my dreams. I knew him in the dawn of observation as a vision of enjoyment. I never saw him work. I don't, even yet, find it easy to realise that he ever did work. I think it was his mission in this world to speak. Copious his speech was always, and gracious or exasperating as the spirit moved him.
