Comments by Historian Julian Winston:
Her flowing, narrative style makes this an exceptionally readable book, and a great book for the neophyte. Of course, one should look at her writing with a view to the historical perspective; when she says of a remedy type, 'look out the window you can see this type in the street,' please remember she is talking about the mid-1930's in London and not in the present day in San Francisco!
