The Sweet And The Twenties: Beverley Nichols

Nichols was a member of the Bright Young Things set and here he looks back on that time : the glittering society, arts, and high-energy culture of 1920s Britain.  He profiles prominent social arbiters and hostesses like Emerald Cunard, Maggie Greville, and Lady Colefax; and we get glimpses of creative figures such as Noel Coward, Cecil Beaton, Edith Sitwell and Ivor Novello. Here is very spirit of the Twenties coming to life in an offbeat collection of memorabilia. Illustrated with archival photos.
