The Ghosts of Piccadilly

De: George Slythe Street

Narrado por: John Stanbridge

"The Ghosts of Piccadilly" (1907) is a "gossip book" about the famous inhabitants of Piccadilly, by G. S. Street.

"If any part of any city deserves a book to itself, it is Piccadilly. We shall stand before some house in the hours when the traffic is stilled, and I shall tell of its history, of the men and women who dwelt there, and talked and loved and gambled and lived and died. I shall follow the lines of my temperament and tastes rather than those of completeness and impartiality: it is likely that I shall be voluble about Byron and reticent about Macaulay."
