The Very Best of the Daily Telegraph Books of Obit by Telegraph Group Limited
The five bestselling volumes of Daily Telegraph Obituaries have brought delight to all those who read them. Here, in one handy trade paperback, Hugh Massingberd has gathered the very best of those 'brief lives'.
'Like going on an all-night spree with alluring strangers one has just met in a smart bar: unpredictable, vivacious, happy, with glimpses of a world of sumptuous elegance and hints of romance, but above all lingeringly memorable' TLS '[Hugh Massingberd's] series of obituaries... have proved themselves to be marvellously durable beside books,... His touch, both as an author and an editor, was invariably light... Although the foibles and eccentricities of the dead were often hilariously evoked (and the latest book, like its predecessors, makes you roar - shake - with laughter), it never nudges you in the ribs, never comes dancing up to you arrayed in cap and bells. It is in every sense a labour of love. An authentic Massingberd obituary never belittles its subject.' Literary Review
Hugh Massingberd has written or edited some 40 books and is currently writing a memoir, Daydream Believer, for MacMillan. He lives in London.
