General Cargo

In this collection of essays, articles and sketches, A P Herbert reveals a world that is long-since past. Through his preoccupations and criticisms, opinions and hopes we are introduced to the thoughts and ways of an English gentleman in 1930s London. And as we read, we become increasingly aware of how much things have changed – indeed often for the better – but perhaps there is also a strange sense of nostalgia, a feeling of something having been lost forever.
