Tales My Father Taught Me: Osbert Sitwell

The Sitwell family are inseparable from the social history of the 1930s. They sponsored all new art and literature movements in order to appear avant garde and members of the literati of the time. Sir Osbert Sitwell's autobiography ran for five volumes and from these emerged not only portraits of Sir Osbert, but of his eccentric and gifted father. This is the collection of tales and memories that were omitted from the autobiography and first published in 1962. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
