The Regent: A Five Towns Story of Adventure in London (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523795697)

Edward Henry Machin (no longer known as Denry) is now aged 43 and although a successful businessman and head of a happy family, he is dissatisfied with his lot and wants a new challenge. A chance meeting in a local theatre presents him with an opportunity to build a theatre in London, in the area of Regent Street and Shaftesbury Avenue. He meets with various difficulties, which he overcomes in his usual way, a combination of hard work, various wiles and a pinch of luck. How he deals with a poetic author, and demanding actresses is told with the usual Bennett humour.
