Compton Mackenzie was born into a theatrical family. His father, Edward Compton, was an actor and theatre company manager; his sister, Fay Compton, starred in many of James M. Barrie's plays, including Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. He was educated at St Paul's School and Magdalen College, Oxford where he obtained a degree in Modern History. Mackenzie was married three times and aside from his writing also worked as an actor, political activist, and broadcaster. He served with British Intelligence in the Eastern Mediterranean during World War I.
Two of the goodreads reviewers commented that these memoirs helped them get through and over bouts of depression and burnout. Then added: "There's no need to wait until you're depressed. They're quite wonderful, completely dotty and self-aggrandizing."
