Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Wesley, Samuel (British clergyman and poet, 1662 1735). On Christmas Day 1716, Wesley was haunted by an apparition of a badger with no head. It was called Jeffrey.Frank writes: It occurred to me that it would be a good idea to write a modern, updated version of John Aubreys Brief Lives. But it further occurred to me that some books are unimproveable, and that in trying to follow in Aubreys footsteps I would embarrass myself and become the butt of ridicule. The idea continued to nag at me, however, and eventually I decided the solution was to outdo Aubrey in brevity. My own Brief Lives would consist of a single, unadorned fact about each of my subjects. So the reader may not learn very much about the life of X or Y or Z, but they would be armed with one little nugget which might come in handy to chuck into a lull during the conversation at the kind of swish sophisticated cocktail party to which they no doubt get invited."Other entries include: Gibson, Willie (Irish, 2nd Baron Ashbourne, 1868 1942). An enthusiastic Gaelic nationalist, Gibson was rumoured to keep a tortoise in his sporran. Harmsworth, Alfred, Lord Northcliffe (British newspaper magnate, 1865 1922). One day at a seaside resort, Northcliffe wantonly struck down a seagull with his stick and beat it to death on the sand. Jansson, Tove (Finnish writer and illustrator, 1914 2001). When staying at her Finnish island retreat, it was Tove Janssons practice to get out of bed at four o clock in the morning and stand stock still, pretending to be a tree, while a squirrel ran up and down her frozen limbs. Lennon, John (British musician, 1940 1980). According to Bernard Levin (q.v.), there is nothing wrong with John Lennon that could not be cured by standing him upside down and shaking him gently until whatever is inside his head falls out. Stein, Gertrude (American writer, 1874 1946). Stein liked to write while looking at cows. She and Alice B Toklas would drive around until they found a suitable spot, then Stein would sit on a campstool armed with pad and pencil, while Toklas coaxed a cow into her line of vision.Nixon, Richard Milhous (American politician and Potus, 1913 1994) Nixons favourite pastime was mashing potatoes.Schubert, Franz (Austrian composer, 1797 1828). Upon his deathbed, Schuberts final wish was that someone would bring him some books by James Fenimore Cooper.Tippett, Michael (British composer, 1905 1998). Tippett called the refrigerator in his kitchen Bernard Levin.Anderson, John Henry (British magician, 1814 1874). The first magician to pull a rabbit out of a hat, Anderson also did a trick which he described as a Grand Ambidexterological Illusion with 12 Handkerchiefs, into which will be introduced the Enchanted Loaf and Learned Bottle, the Animated Orange and the Invisible Pigeon.Brooke, Charles (British, Rajah of Sarawak, 1829 1917). An austere character, Brooke deemed jam effeminate and replaced his glass eye with one taken from a stuffed albatross.Callaghan, James (British politician and Prime Minister, 1912 2005). When Tom Driberg married Ena Binfield in 1951, Callaghan gave them as a wedding present four ashtrays, two of which were broken.Russell, Ken (British film director, 1927 2011). According to Glenda Jackson, the only direction Russell ever gave to his actors was to say It needs to be a bit more urrrgh, or a bit less hmmm. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
