CASANOVA'S CHINESE RESTAURANT

THE KINDLY ONES

'I think it is now becoming clear that A Dance to the Music of Time is going to become the greatest modern novel since Ulysses.' -Clive James

Anthony Powell's brilliant twelve-novel sequence chronicles the lives of over three hundred characters, and is a unique evocation of life in twentieth-century England. It is unrivalled for its scope, its humour and the enormous pleasure it has given to generations.

This omnibus incorporates books four to six, and follows Nicholas Jenkins, Widmerpool and their friends, acquaintances and hangers-on, as they encounter marriage, ambition, social success, and miserable failure.

'There is no other novelist whose work gives so much or such consistent pleasure' - Times Literary Supplement
