THE NAKED APE GETS DRESSED. For those who strive for better things and who understand, as did Ben Jonson, that: "the pipe marks the point at which the orang-utan ends and man begins". - And those who understand S T Coleridge's: "While Fate tramples on things of beauty, the indignant human heart shall utter them."

About Me
- NJS
- Nicholas Storey is a Cornishman and a law graduate of University College London. He had a career in the law in London; both in the Government Legal Service and in private practice before he moved to Brazil in 2006. Besides technical works, he is the author of the well-received 'History of Men's Fashion - What the Well Dressed Man is Wearing' (Pen & Sword Books Ltd, available through all the usual UK outlets, including: amazon.co.uk; Waterstones; W H Smiths; Tesco; play.com; Zawi and, for sales overseas, it is available on all the amazon sites, listed at the end of www.amazon.com). For the publisher's site - see "Links to my books" above. The best current deal, with worldwide free shipping, appears to be at www.bookdepository.com. Nicholas Storey is also currently publishing (again through Pen & Sword Books) a complementary miscellany on men's grooming, accessories and pleasures ('History of Men's Accessories - A Short Guide For Men About Town'), to be followed by a third book in the series, this time on the sporting life. After that, there is to be a book on a selection of Great British Adventurers.
