Babysitting George by Celia Walden
A unique and moving memoir of a young journalist's summer in the company of George Best, in the year before he died
Funny, moving and shot-through with a clear-eyed, unsentimental humanity, Celia Walden's memoir of George Best near the end of his life is a beautiful portrait of genius in tragic, terminal decline * Tony Parsons *
Funny, affectionate and tragically sad by turns, and the book actually sheds new light on the ex-footballer * Independent *
Achingly sad and sometimes comical.. A compulsively readable memoir * Mail on Sunday *
Walden's book is as much an account of the making of a young journalist as it is of the ruin of a great talent. It is a strange, revealing and rather disturbing achievement * Daily Mail *
A touching insight into George Best the man - and the media circus that made him * Economist *
