The Agreeable World of Wallace Arnold [ang.]

Autor: Brown, Robert Craig

The index reads like a veritable Who`s Who, with Lord Weidenfeld alongside The Duchess of York, and Julie Burchill rubbing shoulders with Nicolae Ceaucescu. Kingsley Amis, Lucian Freud, Harold Macmillan and HRH The Queen Mother - Wallace Arnold has known them all, and here, for the first time, he offers his unique insights into their lives, their loves and, perhaps above all, their very real devotion to their dear friend, Wallace Arnold.

Inside this dazzling volume are the real

stories behind the headlines. What happened when Prince Philip met Andy Warhol at a Punch lunch? Why did the Ayatollah Khomeini constantly Whistle Does Your Chewing-Gum Lose Its Flavour On The Bedpost Overnight?" to a skiffle backing in the Colony Room Club of the early 1960s? When did Graham Greene appear as a panellist on Juke Box Jury? And how did Mr Reg Varney help in the election to the Garrick Club of General Manuel Noriega? In these brilliantly perceptive vigettes of those he has known, Wallace Arnold answers all these questions, and many more.
