Fairies in Cabs: Comic and Curious Clippings From the Legendary Theatrical Paper "The Era", 1890-1900

A compilation of amusing, odd and sometimes downright bizarre extracts from Britain's leading theatrical newspaper. Oddball music hall acts, Sabbatarian landladies, squalid dressing-rooms, the dangers of public transport, the vexed question of why women insisted on wearing hats the size of cartwheels at the theatre - it's all in Fairies in Cabs.
