184pp. Green cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. Pages tanning. Internally neat, clean and tight. Dust jacket has some light chipping to edges, price unclipped. 8vo. An autobiography to shame the pallid memoirs of the times, its pages containing the life and brief encounters of a man as rich and various as a fruit cake - meeting Einstein in unusual circumstances, spotting W.H. Auden at Skipton cattle market, Kenneth Kuanda in a Stourbridge stamp shop, and falling in with a roistering crowd that included C. Day Lewis and Robert Helpmann.
