Reader's note

This delightful, decorative pocket book is a 1957 first edition of The Year of the Comet by Osbert Lancaster. The year covered by Mr. Lancaster's annual record has provided material so raw in every sense of the word and so embarrassing in character as well as quantity that even the most experienced field worker might have been expected to have drawn a veil over the year's operations and called it a day. Not so Mr./ Lancaster: for with the unfailing assistance of Lady Littlehampton, whose peculiar powers of observation enable her to detect cocktail gin at twenty yards, and tell the wood from the trees, he has kept his answering eye upon Trade Unions, strikes, Cyprus, Dr. Adams, Mayflower II, telephone-tapping and other varied activities of the year.
