The book captures the restless energy of post-war Britain through the eyes of an ambitious, socially dexterous young man navigating a world of established greatness — and quietly measuring himself against it. Equal parts social comedy and cultural document, this early classic leaves the reader wondering just how much candour lay behind that disarming smile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50573252886747,"sku":"2026100011293-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/50e89456-36cf-44ab-8b76-4e9e9773993b.png?v=1791167877","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011293-secondhand-twenty-five","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
