The Local takes us through the pubs of London on the eve of the Second World War. With Edward Ardizzone and Maurice Gorham as our guides, we experience a vanished world of tin whistle musicians, Jug-and-Bottle and Ladies' Bars, games of dominoes, pints of mother-in-law and wallop. Edward Ardizzone remains one of Britain's best-loved artists. He was at his happiest in London's pubs, and nowhere is this affection better illustrated than in The Local, out-of-print since much of the stock was destroyed in the Blitz 70 years ago. Illustrated by Ardizzone himself. First published 1939 by Cassell & Co
