Description

‘Peter’s reminiscences are indeed amusing and, in some places, hysterical’.
‘There are also some wonderful pearls’.
‘There is something in this book for everybody including stories about bigwig personalities, history, art, clubs, show-biz, cars, historic homes, fine dining and lovely ladies’.
‘One thing is for sure: you won’t be bored’.
‘He has made the acquaintance of many of the great and good (and not so good) and not been shy in commenting on their strengths or weaknesses’.
‘He comes up with little-known, interesting splashes of history’.
‘One of his quests is to give readers advice as to how to live life, like “do not leave behind what you need to take with you”’.
