A lively, amusing, insightful and possibly unique account of what it is like to be a Master of an ancient livery company. The meetings with the great and the good , the ceremony in gilded halls, themselves the physical manifestation of centuries of history, the charitable giving, the modern relevance and crucial role liveries still play in defining the meaning and in lubricating the machinery of the City of London.
