  For over three decades Roy Sstrong has teased, tantalised, amused and sometimes enraged the British public, firstly in his capacity as the Director of two great cultural institutions, the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum, and more recently as a broadcaster, writer, garden expert and historian. Provocative on the issues of running a cash-starved museum, above all the diaries are a wonderfully entertaining chronicle of an age and some of its most memorable celebrities.

  These diaries date from the beginning of Strong's career at the National Portrait Gallery. They report all facets of his life - both the political arts necessary to increase the purchase grants and the luncheons and dinners attended.
