A propos de cet article

London. Robson Books Ltd. 1980. First Edition. Fifth Impression. Hard Cover. Dark beige cloth with gilt titles to spine. Illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs. Photographic dust wrapper which is clipped and designed by Melvyn Gill. Book and jacket are both fine. Stories about Sir Thomas abound, and Harold Atkins and Archie Newman have gathered together a wide selection of them. They show him in full sail at various stages of his career - witty, tongue-in-cheek, often ruthlessly clearsighted. There are incidents eccentric, trenchant, occasionally outrageous - but always hilarious and peculiar to the man. They recall the salty flavour of Sir Thomas in action, sometimes in harmony with those about him, sometimes in violent discord, sometimes bent on rocking the boat, sometimes ranged against all comers. This entertaining volume captures the spirit of a remarkable man who brought an added joy and sparkle to so many people's lives. The jacket will be covered with an archival quality, inert removable protective sleeve. Foreword by Yehudi Menuhin.
