#148 CAMERA Book Review: Peter Dench - The English Summer Season

A skip through the new limited edition book of the English still drinking alcohol in The English Summer Season by Peter Dench.

Once the bastions of gentility, the height of decorum, and the preserve of the upper classes, events of The English Summer Season like Epsom, Royal Ascot, Cartier Queen's Cup Polo, Henley Royal Regatta, and the Glyndebourne Festival, are now a riotous free-for-all of drunkenness and debauchery, re-writing the rules of society.
