About this title

Synopsis

Highly entertaining andoften hilarious story of Tony's somewhat unorthodox upbringing by a formidable yet fun-loving socialite mother. He Woosterish exploits as a young man about Mayfair in post-war London and his successful career in radio and television advertising, which started in the pioneering days. Above all, it recalls with nostalgic affection the many long, hot summer afternoon that he spent indulging his greatest and most abiding passion, cricket. His gentle, often self-deprecating sense of fun lights up every page of these star-studded memoirs.

From the Inside Flap

Tony Salisbury is that most delightful of blokes - a chap. His story will strike many a chord and ring many a bell with anyone who had had a passing acquanitance with anything truly English - in my case, cricket.
