Known as a red-light district with a reputation for sleaze and crime, Soho is also a diverse area, a bohemian location which has been an adult playground for hundreds of years.This is David Barry’s Tales from Soho, eighteen entertaining stories set in London’s other square mile. Within the stories live countless motley characters who have inhabited or frequented the area over the decades. In The Poet in Soho, we follow a famous Welsh writer on odyssey through a number of famous pubs; in The Spieler, a young actor risks a reckoning when he finds himself working in an illegal gambling den - as does an unscrupulous ducker-and-diver in Ronnie’s Manor.From pimp and prostitute to a rock ’n’ roll band at a Carnaby Street séance, David Barry skilfully makes Soho and its colourful characters come alive on the pages of this collection of earthy tales. This special edition not only contains photographs (taken by the author himself) of locations relevant to the stories, but also a brief history of the district and some of its more famous pubs.This excellent anthology will make a fantastic addition to the bookshelves of fans of tales with a twist, those into dark comedy, and London-lovers alike.
