Top Hat & Tails (Plateful of Privilege) (Bk. 2) [Paperback]

Alexander Thynn (Author)

Book Description

Series: Plateful of Privilege | Publication Date: April 1, 2003

Second volume of the Marquess of Bath's memoirs.

The Marquess of Bath's public image is that of an indulgent, eccentric, hedonistic, sexual libertine. This book shows that he is all that but he is also a prolific writer, artist, thinker...yet, he has consciously lived his life according to his principle rather than those of his age or kind. Born to a life of privilege, having inherited one of the oldest titles, a fortune and a stately home, he has flouted all the obligatory sexual, social, political conventions in a multitude of ways.

Review

"His style is elegant,light and, in the best English tradition, gently ironical. -- Nigel Dempster

It is a rare page that will not draw a wry smile from the reader. -- Daily Mail

4.0 out of 5 stars The Early Years Bk 1` (Plateful of Privilege) Alexander Thinn, March 26, 2009

This review is from: The Early Years (Plateful of Privilege) (Bk. 1) (Paperback)

Such a pleasure to read a book written in 'good' English.
It is informative, gentle, probing and witty when needed.
Typical of the author's place in life and when combined with his interviews on T V in Animal Farm, gives a vivid picture of the man most of us would die to meet and chat with.
Altogether a perfect gift (in my case from wife to husband) . . .and very much looking forward to reading books 2 and 3.
