  In this volume, Rupert Hart-Davies recalls the last 50 years of his life, the many actors and writers he knew, among them Peggy Ashcroft (his first wife), Joyce Grenfell, Arthur Ransome, Alistair Cooke and T.S. Eliot. He recounts the post-war establishment of his publishing company, Rupert Hart-Davies Ltd, his great friendship with Siegfried Sassoon, whose letters and diaries he later edited. Alongside this he also tells of family life in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire, and of his love for Ruth Simon, who eventually becomes his wife.
