Description

‘The most entertaining book of the year’ Sunday Times

The autobiography of magazine kingpin Nicholas Coleridge is a Waugh-like whirlwind of eccentric characters, lavish parties and even a spell in a Sri Lankan jail. It was funny enough to excuse all the name-dropping’ Evening Standard, Books of the Year

‘A ludicrously well-connected magazine impresario. Whimsical tales of Bob Geldof, William Hague, Princess Diana and George Osborne jostle with recollections of glitzy parties at castles and producing the Eton magazine with Craig Brown. It’s gossipy good funSunday Times

‘A deliciously moreish memoir of the author’s glittering career in magazine publishing. Like having a really good gossip over a glass of fizz with Evelyn WaughSunday Telegraph

Sparkling. Witty, nimble and engaging, it is wonderfully entertaining and a marvellous slice of social history‘ Jane Ridley, Spectator

Brilliant. I laughed almost continuously‘ Charles Moore, Spectator

An irresistible read, hilarious, honest and insightful. I adored it‘ Tina Brown

Forthright, witty and gossipy. A passion for glossy magazines shines through this effervescent memoir’ Sunday Express
