Synopsis
In this charming and poignant memoir, the 13th Earl Ferrers Robert Washington Shirley, farmer, businessman, politician, husband and father refl ects on a life very well lived. Contemplative musings on politics, religion, relationships, and the meaning of life are peppered throughout with humorous anecdotes of an aristocratic upbringing at Staunton Harold in the 1930s, high jinks at Winchester and Cambridge, national service in the jungle of Malaya with the Coldstream Guards, and his time as a minister in every Conservative government from Macmillan to Major. Containing choice nuggets of original correspondence, cartoons and poems, Whatever Next? recounts captivating tales of the ups and downs of Westminster life from a peer with a real twinkle in his eye. When members of the House of Lords voted in 1999 which 92 hereditary peers to keep, Earl Ferrers topped the list, and from this elegant collection of engaging vignettes, it is easy to see why. Robin Ferrers is one of the most engaging and loved parliamentarians of recent decades. He is a national treasure, and his memoirs are proof-positive that there is humanity in politics. Sir John Major

Vendeur : Bill & Ben Books, Faringdon, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. This is the extraordinary life story of Robert Shirley, the thirteenth Earl Ferrers, tracing his aristocratic upbringing in the 1930s through his wartime childhood, national service in the jungle of Malaya, Cambridge in the 1950s and finally his life a government minister in every Conservative Government from Macmillan to Major. More importantly, he has some hilariously off-the-wall tales to tell. Often including hiding fish in the Chief Whip's briefcase. Earl Ferrers writes amusingly and movingly about his twelve predecessors, one of whom was hanged after he shot his manservant. His at times hilarious accounts of his careers in farming, business and politics have the reader crying tears of both joy and sadness as he relates the bizarre events in his political life, and some of his family tragedies. When his fellow members of the House of Lords voted which 92 hereditary peers to keep, Earl Ferrers topped the vote. Reading this book, it is easy to see why. Always enjoying a sense of the ridiculous, and with the ability to write with humour and charm, he is without question the most popular member of the current House of Lords. This book shows why. It contains dozens of reminiscences from a life well led. It's seeringly honest, painfully blunt, but at all times retains the author's supreme sense of charm and elegance.
