Item Description

Vintage Penguin First Edition. #2667. Bags of Swank by David Walder, in its Penguin edition, is a sharp, good-humoured memoir of political life in mid-twentieth-century Britain. Walder—MP, writer and former Guards officer—offers an insider’s view of Westminster with a tone that is wry rather than cynical, mixing anecdote, character sketches and reflections on the odd mixture of theatre, duty and vanity that shapes parliamentary work. The book’s appeal lies in its lightness of touch: Walder writes with charm, intelligence and a willingness to puncture pomposity, giving readers a lively portrait of political culture rather than a heavy policy study. A distinctive and entertaining Penguin volume, appreciated by collectors for its blend of wit and firsthand insight.
