TASTE OF THE GOOD LIFE by Briers Ann
An anthology compiled by Richard Briers and his wife Anne. It is a celebration of the best that food, wine and good fellowship have to offer - from barbeques to fine wines, by way of breakfast, conversation, mangoes, Queen Victoria and washing up. The book features many of the world's finest writers: Anthony Trollope describes the railway sandwich of a century ago; Dr Johnson writes on the secret of domestic happiness; and Francis Kilvert explains the lesser-known benefits of brandy.
