The book is called a history, but it might well be called the biography of the London County Council. For it makes the huge organisation which governes most of the Londoner's existence very much alive. Far more than the fifty years during which the letters "L.C.C." have meant so much are covered by the volume. London history in the nineteenth century id told in the earlier chapters, which lead to the fascinating story of how the Council came to be set up. Well-chosen illustrations and a cheerful selection of topical cartoons yet further enliven its pages. For the man or woman who loves London this book is a storehouse of interest. The growth of the body which has become one of the greatest social influences of our time cannot fail to absorb the attention of the student of history and sociology. But it is the ordinary reader who will garner even more from this book - an understanding of how most of the big things in London are done, and a vital picture of how one of our greatest institutions has been developed and does its work. More, he will learn with astonishment how much it does and how interesting its work can be. The mysteries of the party system, the development of the Council's methods of business, the story of its relations with Parliament and other authorities are all vividly told - this in addition to be published a book which is an honest study of its work and not a mere piece of lip-service to its achievements. The result is history in its most readable and inviting form.
