[Darcy · Rating 4 out of 5]

The photographs are a revelation and I kept returning to look at them after finishing the book. His clothes, his haircut, his height and the street scenes were particularly interesting. If only we had the tapes of Orwell's radio broadcasts and some more more photographs or even film. I really would love to hear his 'lower-upper-middle class accent'.
