A collection of thoughts – not quite idle thoughts – "gastronomical, literary, and political (though heedless of ephemeral policies)" from the preface. Welby was an interesting character, born and raised in India by parents who forbade him from speaking English until the age of six, he became a journalist, a war correspondent, and a literary critic. Most interest in Swinburne and Arthur Simmons, he was decidedly a Victorian and Edwardian living in a later time. This book, dedicated to his friend André Simon, spends much time ruminating on English cuisine, in the context of the many influences found in the restaurants and in cookbooks of the 19th century. He was politically to the right, and seemed keenly aware that the aristocratic culture he was so fond of was fading fast in the first third of the 20th century. His writing is concise and very pleasant, and there are many interesting observations throughout.

Great room separator
Color: Black
The panels are much longer than we expected! We only needed 3 of the 4 proivided. It's slightly flimsy, but holds together nicely. The screwdriver that came with did not fit the screws, but luckily we had a Phillips head. It's very lightweight. It is definitely a good value for the money.

Room divider
Color: Black, Color: Black
It was much simpler than anticipated. I don't think it's very sturdy and it lacks weight, but it's attractive.
