Review:
‘An intellectual treat...the delight of this book lies in that combination of wit with perception, and of width of view with ease of expression for which Russell made himself known.’ - Financial Times
‘Russell is as incapable of being dull as he is of being shallow’ – The Observer
‘His writings reflect his crystalline, scintillating mind and rank him among the few masters of English style’ – Sunday Times
