“Davidson has the urbane, British intonation that goes hand in hand with the protagonist of Piccadilly Jim, a ‘hale-fellow-well-met’ American…His light characterizations of the British male uppercrust come off well…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
He was a gossip columnist’s dream. Piccadilly Jim’s life was a collage of broken promises and drunken brawls.
