Murray's Handbooks were conceived at a time when improved transport links were making foreign travel increasingly easy and popular. His innovative guides responded to a need for detailed practical guides for new middle-class travellers. This entertainment guide is a spin off from the Murrays travelling books. Scarce. £125
