Product Description
Review
'Enchanting...while writing a series of richly comic recollections which had me laughing out loud every few pages, he has also written a book with much more underlying seriousness and much more to say about the human condition than any Booker prizewinner could achieve' A.N. Wilson, Country Life 'Intensely comical... contains some of the funniest scenes I have seen in print this year' - Jeremy Paxman, Observer "Although en route we do meet plenty of people more famous... none of them can begin to match the charm of the book's bumbling narrator in his Dickensian progression from weedy daydreamer, to failed solicitor, country squire, genealogist, obituarist and lurker at stage doors. This man is an institution, one of the great English eccentrics of our time.' James Delingpole, Literary Review
James Delingpole, Literary Review, November 2001

This review is from: Daydream Believer. Confessions Of A Hero-Worshipper (Hardcover)
What an excellent review of a life! The first twenty or so pages were somewhat disappointing but, boy, did things improve. So many characters are discussed and I particularly liked the commentary on why Lees-Milne may not have received a public honour. I highly recommend it...
