Presumably he also penned the foreword by "Sacheverell Smith". It follows his earlier comic volume The Private Papers of a Bankrupt Bookseller. Darling was a director of his family's drapers firm, presumably a source for his material. Thee striking dust jacket features a modern thirties lady, with purse and cigarette, strutting down Bond Street. Seller Inventory # 40714
