Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1987 Weidenfeld & Nicolson hardcover edition. Some reading wear else good condition. Harry Daley was a London policeman. In twenty-five years of service, lasting until after the Second World War, he patrolled the streets of Hammersmith, Soho and Wandsworth, dealing with petty crime, small-scale corruption and the lawlessness of London life. Harry Daley was also a homosexual who had a friendship with the writer E. M. Forster and was accepted into his world of the Bloomsbury literary scene. In This Small Cloud Daley tells the story of his life, a life lived to the full but always in the shadow of the small cloud of his sexuality, something which he was too honest, or too impatient, to keep secret. He gives a vivid and evocative account of his happy childhood as son of a deep-sea fisherman in Lowestoft before the First World War, his early sexual encounters and his long and eventful career in the Metropolitan Police. The book provides a fascinating insight into working relationships in the police - the shifting trends of official policy, the petty corruptions and wide areas of liberality and decency, and the various police types: 'snatchers', 'rubber-heelers' and so on. A masterly story-teller, Daley also gives lively and often amusing accounts of the people he dealt with in his work - costers and small-time criminals (amongst who he acquired lovers and close friends), Soho prostitutes, Wandsworth gypsies and local eccentrics, like the man who was convinced he was a number 11 bus. Daley's entertaining and sensitive autobiography, which gives us not only an engaging self-portrait but also an important historical document, is introduced by P. N. Furbank, the biographer of E. M. Forster, and has an Afterword by Clive Emsley, historian of the police. N° de réf. du vendeur YE-7BLD-Z8G9
