First Childhood by Lord Berners
In First Childhood Lord Berners demonstrates the neat precision of wit and style which typifies his musical compositions. This is a subtle work of art and a masterpiece of understatement. Autobiography of the very finest quality. Having enjoyed in the course of reading it the loudest and longest laughs I have enjoyed in the last two years I am incapable of making any critical observations. I found the book to be enchanting from cover to cover.' - Daily Mail'
"Quietly remarkable autobiography alive with unforgotten terrors, unforgiven indignities"..Alan Hollingsworth
