| Description: |
'In my time I've said some noteworthy and exceptionally memorable things.' A delightful and revealing collection of quotations from the master wordsmith, Noel Coward In His Own Words displays Coward's surprising capacity for depth and compassion, as well as his inimitable 'talent to amuse'. |
| Synopsis: |
No one in the twentieth century used language with the same precision and wit as Noel Coward. In his plays, his verse, his song lyrics, stories and in everyday life, he chose his words to uniquely stylish and truthful effect. This affectionate portrait of Coward's life includes not only his best-loved witticisms and lyrics, but also excerpts from private papers and hidden gems from unpublished material. Barry Day Delves into the whole range of Coward's talents, as well as his thoughts on a wide variety of subjects - including the theatre, England, the Arts, religion, love and death - all the while giving insights into the man himself. |
