For those interested: it's mainly very unstructured (and undated)
anecdotes of Mackay's time in Fleet Street, as journalist, editor etc. and
the many people who knew. He says the period covers 1870-90 but there are
a few things in the book which don't quite fit that. Also, Mackay was
acknowledged as a master of writing fiction that passed for fact, so
perhaps not all the book is true? Otherwise very readable and
entertaining.
All the best,
David,
Very windy England
