"Autobiography of the very finest quality..In the course of reading it I had the loudest and longest laughs I have enjoyed in the last two years. I found the book enchanting from cover to cover." - Compton McKenzie, Daily Mail; "Not only witty and amusing, but contain things to ponder over in plenty behind the mere youthful years." - Richard King, Tatler"
Lord Berners (1883-1950) was a composer, novelist, painter, memoirist, conspicuous aesthete and the real life character on whom Nancy Mitford based Lord Merlin in The Pursuit of Love.
