Book Overview: In this accomplished biography, Ziegler merges social history of the highest order with a dazzling psychological study of a very English eccentric. . . It is Ziegler's deft handling of the uneasy mix of the man and his age that makes this biography of a minor figure a masterpiece. ' Jackie Wullschlager, FINANCIAL TIMES
