London Lavender

Description

About this book

"London Lavender : An entertainment" by E. V. Lucas is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows Kent Falconer and his wife Naomi as they set up house in Primrose Terrace near Regent’s Park, meeting an assortment of London characters and observing city life with gentle wit. Through domestic episodes, Zoo visits, folk songs, and neighbors’ intrigues, the book offers a string of comic-sympathetic portraits and social asides rather than a single driving plot. The opening of the novel shows Kent and Naomi leaving his old rooms for a new lodging near Regent’s Park, run by the refined but fussy Packer twins and aided by Mrs. Wiles, whose husband is head keeper of the ape house at the Zoo.
