Synopsis
After Sir Alec Guinness' death in August 2000, two notebooks were found in his study, filled with his tiny beautiful handwriting. In the books he had jotted down quotations from favourite books, thoughts on Shakespeare, anecdotes from the theatre,and even remarks overheard on the street. And there was a one-page Introduction which suggests that he fully intended to publish or record it as an audio tape. The result is a wonderful commonplace book from one of the century's most-loved actors. 'As charming and accomplished with words as he is in his best performances' Jonathan Cecil, Spectator
