People and Places includes essays on such eminent authors and historians as Georges Simenon, Pierre Loti, and Raymond Queneau, as well as warm recollections of Cobb's old University friends, Jack Gallagher, Arthur Marder, and Christopher Hill. In the "Places" section, Paris and Bayeux evocatively come to life alongside Aberystwyth and Brussels. This unique collection will delight the many admirers of Richard Cobb's books, and doubtless win many more fans.
