Why read it?
1 author picked Palaces of Pleasure as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This delightful book erases the stiff, sepia portraits of a bygone age, painting the Victorian world in living color. It shreds the era’s image as fun-challenged. The Victorians knew how to have a rollicking good time, inventing popular entertainment on a commercial scale.

From Patrice's list on offbeat books about the Victorian Era.
