Kingsley Amisone of English literature's most versatile craftsman is also a master of the art of drinking. From his many years of experience and with an eye both to economics and to enjoyment he presents this witty and masterly informative handbook for the drinker amateur and professional. From a guide to alcoholic literature he moves to a selection of prime drink recipes - the fruit of untold years' research in the field. Among his list can be found personal extravaganzas like the Lucky Jim and the Kingers and such irresistibly titled brews as Reginald Bosanquet's Golden Elixir and Evelyn Waugh's Noonday Reviver. Practical guidance on equipment and the store cupboard is followed by a wealth of information about wine including a Wine Shopper's Guide and incidental intelligence on drinking abroad. On a less serious noteKingsley Amis gives us the riotous Mean Sod's Guide 'Vital requirement: prepare pre- and post-dinner drinks in some undiscoverable pantry or broom cupboard'. He has thoughtfully included a section on dealing with The Hangover suggestions for a Boozing Man's Diet and finally for those for whom prevention is better than cure some notes on How Not to Get Drunk. With its apt and highly amusing drawings by Nicolas Bentley this book is an ideal gift for the drinking man of whatever pocket or preference it is as pleasing as a well-made cocktail. Nicolas Clerihew Bentley 1907-78. Born Highgate London. Son of E.C. Bentley the novelist leader writer for The Daily Telegraph and inventor of the four-line verse form known as the 'clerihew'. Studied at University College SchoolLondon and at Heatherley's School of Art. Before and after WW1 during which he was deputy director of the Home Intelligence Unit and editor in the Publications Division of the Ministry of Information he worked freelance as a journalist author and humorous illustrator. Director of Andre Deutsch from 1950. Drew the daily pocket cartoon for The Daily Mail 1958-62. An editor for Sunday Times Publications Ltd. 1962-3 and for Thomas Nelson & Son 1963-7. Nicolas Bentley's illustrations for Belloc's 'New Cautionary Tales' as successor to B. T. Blackwood established his importance as an illustrator. His stylish witty and economical drawings often depicting figures without background or setting owed much to his admiration for the work of the French draughtsman Caran D'Ache and the Swede Olaf Gulbransson.
