A delicious taste of the secret, exciting and often dangerous
history of illicit spirits; Britain has always been a nation of
enthusiastic drinkers. Any attempt to regulate, limit or ban our
favourite tipple has been met with imaginative and daring acts of
defiance: selling gin through pipes in a London back alley;
smuggling brandy across Cornish clifftops; or dodging bombs and
shrapnel running whisky in the Blitz.; The history of spirits in
Britain has more illicit in it than licit - and that history has
shaped these isles. Packed with wild stories, as well as authentic
recipes from the past, Rebellious Spirits reveals the colourful
characters and tall tales behind Britain's long and lively love
affair with booze.
