'A Shilling Book from Praed Street'

At Wild Court, edited by Robert Selby, my essay ‘A Shilling Book from Praed Street’ about the poet and editor Daniel George, and his forgotten but fascinating journal poem, To-morrow will be Different (1932). 

This simply and frankly recounts a day in his life, including a country walk, going to the pub, flashbacks to the trenches, and a cottage tea with friends. Clemence Dane described it as ‘loquacious, quotatious, funny, tragic, coarse’.
