| Summary: | "Until 1966 Sir Osbert Sitwell divided his time more or less equally between Renishaw and Montegufoni ... . Thereafter, partly because of ill health, he decided to live permanently in his Tuscan home, where he died in 1969. After his death a number of unpublished essays remained at Montegufoni. Some he had held back for private reasons, some because he was still working on them for a new collection. Six of these essays, full of the inimitable Sitwellian sparkle and wit, are included in the present book, together with a selection of the best essays from Pound Wise, his last published work and out of print for some years. The longest of the new essays, and the most remarkable, is on Queen Mary, whom he knew personally."--Dust jacket |
