Description

Convivial Dickens, carefully researched yet presented in a lively, popular style, provides those interested in the lore of drinks and drinking with a dependable and authoritative guide to the creation of Victorian potables such as would have been enjoyed by Mr. Pickwick and Mr. Micawber.

Alongside its many exuberant period illustrations by Cruikshank, Dicky Doyle, John Leech, and others, a leading feature of the book is over 130 authentic Victorian drink recipes. Culled from bartenders’ guides, butlers and housekeepers’ manuals and cookbooks of that era, the recipes appear at the end of each chapter and are carefully cross–indexed for handy reference.

Here is a wealth of information about the ways in which these drinks were made, the original materials employed in their mixing, and the social circumstancs surrounding their enjoyment. As a bartender’s guide or companion for the many readers of Dickens who enjoy his convivial scenes and wish to paticipate more fully in them, Convivial Dickens should please and instruct, and perhaps lend a Dickensian glow to modern conviviality.
