Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters From Queer Street: Being Some of the Correspondence, of the Late Mr. John Mason
If I were the best geographer in the world I could not exactly locate Queer Street for you. As a matter of fact, I imagine that, as nearly every town in the British Empire has its Town Hall (or, as in South Africa; its Town House), so also it possesses its Queer. Street. In some it is miles long, in some it may only be two houses separated by a right-of-way; but each city, town, township, village and dorp has it more or less hidden somewhere. I only write of Queer Street, London. As I have said, it has no postal recognition, but I fancy that if you were to write, say, to John Mason, Queer Street, London, ' you would be more correct and nearer the mark in putting the symbol '7' after 'london, ' than W., s.w., w.c., n.w., e.c., s.e., or E. I could not quite tell you in what part of the monstrous village it finds itself.
