Review
‘This collection of Ferdinand Mount’s essays is a sheer delight. Any sensible reader would take the essays slowly, putting the book down in between each one in order to savour its stories and digest them . . . The pieces are a cornucopia of wonderfully gossipy details, informed analysis, complex psychology: the deep seriousness is inextricable from the exuberant fun’ , Times Literary Supplement
‘Lucid, reasoning intelligence and vivid character sketches . . . speaks with depth and sophistication to our political movement’ , Guardian
