This is a story about what can happen to a man when he does not keep himself clean. People do not need to be able to read in order to understand the story. In the book we follow George's daily life - at home, at work, on the bus and in the pub. George likes being with people and does not understand why they seem to avoid him. He often feels lonely and unhappy, and sometime feels unwell. George's life changes when he is helped to be clean and to wear appropriate clothes. Not only is he happy about the way he now looks and feels, but his work-mates and friends want to be with him. George enjoys their company, and no longer feels so isolated.
Edited and first published in 1907, these are perceptive journal entries from a central figure in nineteenth-century British musical life.

This unprecedented exposure to a global audience sparked a huge interest in this imaginative an...
Excerpt from Leaves From the Journals of Sir George Smart T is the fate of most biographies to be written either too I early or too late. In the one case there is a tendency to exaggerate the importance of the person whose history is narrated among those of his day; in the other there is a risk that his influence upon the age in which he lived may be underrated. It is possible that the value of the work done by Sir George Smart may be underestimated, and that the matter now presented to the reader may suffer in interest from the fact that forty years have elapsed since Sir George Smart died at the great age of ninety-one years. That this should be the case is not entirely the fault of the p...
