Tears Before Bedtime by Barbara Skelton
These two volumes of memoirs record Barbara Skelton's extraodinary life - as daughter, schoolgirl, model, femme fatale, cipher clerk, writer, wife (three times) and friend. She is the embodiment of the mid-century literary-political bohemia that Anthony Powell chronicles in his "Dance to the Music of the Time". The cast of characters include Augustus John, Feliks Topolski, Peter Quennell, Ian Fleming, Evelyn Waugh, Lucian Freud, the Rothermeres and the Duff Coopers to P.C. Boot and the Horse Thief, as well as husbands Cyril Connolly, George Wiedenfield and Derek Jackson. Novels by Skelton include "A Young Girl's Touch", "Born Losers" and "Love Match".| SKU | Unavailable |
