8vo; original blue cloth; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (viii) + 296 (including index). Fine condition. 'Like some Augustan Umberto Eco, Bywater decodes, derides and deconstructs the major and minor archanas of world civilizations, hilariously zooming in and out from chocolate bars to cosmology: anatomizing moustaches and melancholy, dogs and democracy. This marvellous and valuable book transforms itself as you read from a quirky miscellany into something wiser, nobler, deeper, sadder and more remarkable.' - Stephen Fry.

With a card laid-in to volume one from the scholar and critic Bernard Bargonzi thanking Lodge for the loan of the book and describing the book as 'a very absorbing read' and Gray as 'a very talented writer'. Four wry and frank autobiographical recollections by the playwright and author, who began to keep a diary when he turned 65. Gray (1936-2008) writes with sharp observation and self-deprecating humour of his triumphs and disasters, his addictions to cigarettes and alcohol, and friendships and relationships.
