About this ebook
A girl escaping a convent, a gambling town on the Riviera, and a house whose owner collects people. The Williamsons put Monte Carlo to work here instead of the open road, and the machinery of the casino is described by people who had watched it. This edition binds fifty-eight plates of painting with the text, among them works by Edvard Munch and James 'Clock' Shaw, alongside two illustrations restored and coloured.
