The new Belle Epoque-style label presents an interesting image of a naked Lady Godiva type ready to mount a winged bicycle. Though the narrative is not indexed, teachers and their students, as well as the general listener, will appreciate the short, lively chapters, many featuring great characters such as Julius Caesar, Boadicia, Lady Godiva, King Arthur, Henry II, Becket, Robin Hood, and Wat Tyler. Depending on your own past experience, the stories Haden-Guest has to tell--some hilarious, like the Lady Godiva anecdote; some incredible, such as the tales of patrons so desperate for admission that they bribed or threatened the doormen (or even climbed the walls)--will offer either a psychedelic trip down memory lane or a fantastic vision through a mist-shrouded looking glass. |
