"A uniquely charming & enticing journey through a remarkable life. Coward's own record is made all the more delightful by the wise & helpful interpolations of Barry Day, the soundest authority on the Master that there is." Stephen Fry "A far more complex figure than the one we thought we knew. Here you get the truly private Noel" Sheridan Morley With virtually all the letters in this volume previously unpublished
- this is a revealing new insight into the private life of a legendary figure. Coward's multi-faceted talent as an actor, writer, composer, producer & even as a war-time spy (!), brought him into close contact with the great, the good & the merely ambitious in film, literature & politics. With letters to & from the likes of: George Bernard Shaw, Virginia Woolf, Winston Churchill, Greta Garbo (she wrote asking him to marry her), Marlene Dietriech, Ian Fleming, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, Fred Astaire, Charlie Chaplin, FD Roosevelt, the Queen Mother & many more, the picture that emerges is a series of vivid sketches of Noel Coward's private relationships, & a re-examination of the man himself. Deliciously insightful, witty, perfectly bitchy, wise, loving & often surprisingly moving, this extraordinary collection gives us Coward at his crackling best. A sublime portrait of a unique artist who made an indelible mark on the 20th century, from the Blitz to the Ritz & beyond.
