Hello! I'm giving away 20 (20!) signed paperbacks of this book to the first people to reply to this post. Stephen Fry called it "enchanting" and "hilarious" but some people hate it & that's all cool & what happens with books. Limiting this to UK (but happy to send outside if you can cover postage)..

What’s on this week in #Dundee #musichall #history? Well, the great Marie Lloyd (1870-1922) was at The Gaiety in 1909. The Courier & Argus though gave her a somewhat muted review, “while her songs are of the catchy style, [they are] perhaps not what a Dundee audience is familiar with.” 30 March 1909

Genuinely touched by this. I'll add though that art is the product of time & place so, similarly, I consider this award reflective of the excellent colleagues & students I am lucky to work with. The whole School makes working life lots of fun ❤️ @uniofstandrews.bsky.social @arthistorysta.bsky.social
