All I Could Never Be: Beverley Nichols

Nichols examines his own pacifism, presents his Christian convictions, skims over his nervous breakdown and details his travels and lifestyle as the 30s draw to a close and war looms over Europe. An autobiography full of witty anecdotes and conversations as well as the gossip of a bygone era: Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Somerset Maugham and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and the Bright Young Things of London in the twenties and thirties spring to life in this volume.
