From the back cover:
'A richly comic tale of the tangled fortunes of two theatrical families, the Hazards and the Chances, Angela Carter's witty and bawdy novel is populated with as many sets of twins and mistaken identities as any Shakespeare comedy, and celebrates the magic of over a century of showbusiness.'
Picked up as a mini-treat for Estherase down in London...hope it was a nice surprise!
