Daphne Fielding records Rosa Lewis's free-wheeling career set in the heyday of the Edwardian Era, a time of amoral jubilation after the Victorian lid had come off society. Outspoken and gifted, with a huge sense of fun, Rosa could swear like a trooper or assume the manners of a lady as the occasion required. She managed her Cavendish Hotel (81, Jermyn Street, St. James's, London), on principles that were uniquely her own. Her genius for handling both personalities and cuisine was famous. Evelyn Waugh calls her ".a warm-hearted, comic and totally original woman." **Bundle Up & Save On Postage**.
