The book divides into chapters on transport and speed; the emergence of modern science and medicine; the building of Empire; the growth of leisure, holidays and the theatre; the development of modern sports such as football, rugby and tennis; and the emergence of social mobility and the self-made millionaire. Such an industrious era had its misses too--an early ice- cream maker that required hours of manual pumping never caught on, nor did ivory false teeth that had to be held in place by painful and unreliable springs. But Hart-Davis romps through successes and failures with equal energy and glee. A consummate storyteller, he brings back to life a generation of Britons setting out on a journey of discovery--and for whom all things seemed possible.--John Rennie
