“They Walk in the City” is the title of a new novel by J. B. Priestley, which Heinemann’s published at the end of July. It deals with the adventures of Rose Salter and Edward Fielding, who come from Haliford to try their fortunes in London. Priestley, who dislikes the convenient comparison so often made between him and Dickens, will not be pleased by the fact that one critic has already declared that the book reveals “the pleasant Dickensian strain in Mr Priestley.”
