“Let me confess at once that I knew nothing whatever about Madeira except that my grandfather always preferred Madeira wine to sherry. Nearly all the Victorians did. So Madeira meant to me more than the place the wine came from, in much the same way that Brazil, to the characters in “Charley`s Aunt”, was the place the nuts came from.” Pg. 10
