The Green Carnation. Fact is More Popular than Fiction.
Guy Deghy and Keith Waterhouse.
The Café Royal is a famous old café-restaurant in London, and this is its story. There, many of the literary lions of the 19th century met and exchanged verbal souffies. There Frank Harris and Lord Alfred Douglas had a fight and Aleister Crowley met the “Tiger Woman [Betty May].” For those who like the Bohemian, this book is packed with colour and incident and is essentially readable. |
