Fascinated by the bustle,variety and eccentricity of city life,Beryl Cook has always been attracted to New York,and this
record of her stay there is as colourful and idiosyncratic as anyone could hope for.From Central Park to Coney Island,from
Roseland to the Metropolitan Museum,from the Russian Tea Room to the gambling halls
of Atlantic City,her inimitable brush and disarmingly candid pen depict the whole array of humanity with all its quirks and comedy.
For Beryl,New York is not a city of skyscrapers,but of dancers,cops, housewives,waiters,business men and women,
down-and-outs,joggers,singers,barmen, culture addicts,proselytisers,school children,bicyclists,gamblers,intellectuals,shoppers,holiday-makers - all the people to be found in any great city,but nowhere as varied as in New York and by no one else so lovingly recreated.
Beryl's numerous addicts have a treat in store,and for the uninitiated - if there be any - the chance to experience her work
at its brightest and best.
