For those wishing to know: it's a collection of all sorts of stories (from
the papers and elsewhere) that seldom appear in history books, but
nevertheless were greatly talked about at the time. For example, there's
the near punch-up after the late king's funeral, the shooting of the
indestructable man, the young post-boy v. the police, etc.
All the best,

England, raining and very cold
