Produktbeschreibung
A gentle, laughing chorus from a gentler era, Between You And Me gathers the quick wit, warm folly, and keen eye for everyday life that marked early twentieth¿century Britain. Sir Harry Lauder's anecdotes and essays unfold as a humorous journey through streets, stages, and living rooms, where friendship and family tales brighten the routine and illuminate a nation's spirit. This volume is more than a collection; it is a window into Edwardian era humour and the enduring humour anthology classics that shaped British anecdotal essays. Read as a seamless sequence of stage and performance anecdotes, seaside sketches, and candid observations of everyday British life, it reveals a Scottish comedian heritage that bridged vaudeville, theatre, and quiet, conversational charm. Casual readers will savour the warmth and wit, while collectors of british humour anthologies will recognise a rare, complete collected works that stands beside the best of its kind.

More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-an intact, lovingly presented artefact of a bygone era that still resonates with laughter, empathy, and shared humanity. For fans of traditional humour and for those exploring early twentieth century britain, this book is essential.
Autorenporträt
Scottish music hall performer and comedian Sir Harry Lauder is most remembered for his early 20th-century contributions to the entertainment business. Initially, Lauder performed in Scottish pantomimes before becoming well-known for his humorous monologues and songs. He embraced and popularised the Scottish music hall heritage by frequently performing in a kilt and tam o'shanter. Among his most popular songs are "Between You and Me," "Roamin' in the Gloamin'," and "Keep Right on to the End of the Road." Apart from his achievements in the entertainment industry, Sir Harry Lauder was actively engaged in humanitarian endeavours, especially during the First World War. He made a lot of trips to collect money for charities connected to the war, and in 1919 he was knighted for his services.
