  • The sequel to Auntie Mame. Two and a half years after Mame takes Patrick and Pegeen's son Michael on a world tip - after promising to have him back in time for school - it's left to Patrick to explain to his irate wife that Mame is a very good world traveller: she just has a habit of not setting a date for her return. As random and enthusiastic post cards arrive, Patrick - for the first time - tells of his travels with Auntie  Mame before World War II...with one or two omissions.  After all, revealing how Mame almost destroyed the Folies Bergère, got embroiled in preparations for a Nazi coup in Austria or upset the routine of a rich community of expatriates in the mountains of Lebanon...Well, revealing these escapades is not ideal for calming an anxious mother! Mame's faithful manservant Ito and best friend Vera Charles also appear on the world stage as the travel stickers begin to plaster the baggage!
  • Tony makes an impression wherever he goes - he knows all the right people, wears all the right clothes, is seen in all the right places and is always in the society columns.  Yet there are some odd stories also circulating...a messy divorce case...blackmail and Mob involvement...a very peculiar wedding...He's a rogue, a rascal and a reprobate.  Patrick Dennis tells a good story and has a sly dig at society pretensions and the cult of so-called celebrity at the same time.
