These four stories are drawn from the Author’s wide experience within the world of Gentleman’s Clubs, or 'Clubland' as it is often described.The 'Ghost in Piccadilly' was seen in a club late at night and the story, brilliantly researched by The Times newspaper eventually received wide coverage reaching Europe and America.'An Evening at The Club' is an example of how rapidly things can go wrong and how funny they can seem in hindsight - although perhaps not to the individuals directly involved. 'The Colonel' was a real, albeit bogus, character who, with his outrageous antics, provided constant entertainment for the members and particularly those in the know. Only a few of his escapades are related here and there is much more to come.'The Committee Man' is an amalgam of the behaviour sometimes adopted in order to influence events but with a generous proportion of artistic license.
