Description
"A drinker's crown of sorrow is remembering wetter days"The love of drinking was well-developed in the nineteenth-century Englishman.
With chapters on port, claret, sherry, champagne, Burgundy, Madeira, wine cellars, glasses and butlers, Through a Glass Lightly is a love letter to wine and everything that came with it.
But the passionate tale has a sorry ending: in the final two chapters, the author develops gout and has to become a teetotaller in order to be able to take out life insurance. Through a Glass Lightly is part of 'Found on the Shelves', published with The London Library.
The books in this series have been chosen to give a fascinating insight into the treasures that can be found while browsing in The London Library.
Now celebrating its 175th anniversary, with over 17 miles of shelving and more than a million books, The London Library has become an unrivalled archive of the modes, manners and thoughts of each generation which has helped to form it.
