This book is Anna Blair's second gathering up of the reminiscences of elderly Glasgow people. It became apparent after the success of her Tea at Miss Cranston's that there remained a large untapped reservoir of reminiscences to draw on, demonstrating the richness and variety of Glasgow life. So, once more Anna Blair set out to record the early memories of Glasgow's older citizens. Their recollections are arranged, as before, by subject matter, with linking narrative by Anna Blair. Bill Taylor, whose pen and ink drawings were featured in Tea at Miss Cranstons, has produced 28 more for this book. Anna Blair introduces the book with a short biography of Kate Cranston whose tea rooms were designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
