'From time to time, I have been asked whether, in fact, I was born barmy.' To answer this, and other pressing questions, Beatrice Lillie has composed these memoirs.
With the irrepressible wit and disarming candour that have endeared her to hundreds of thousands of fans, she recounts the ups and downs of her life: her childhood in Toronto; her early success in London in Andre Charlot's revues; her marriage to Sir Robert Peel and the tragic loss of her only son during World War II; her widely acclaimed reputation as 'the funniest woman in the world'.
And here, in a series of delightful anecdotes, are some of her friends, acquaintances, and co-workers: Noel Coward, Gertrude Lawrence, Michael Arlen, Julie Andrews, Fanny Brice, Charlie Chaplin, Ethel Barrymore, Helen Hayes, the Prince of Wales, Elsa Maxwell ('whom I regarded as 39 of my most intimate friends'), and too many more to drop here.
Hilarious, informative and surprisingly touching, this book reflects all the varied facets of Beatrice Lillie, a uniquely talented and universally admired woman.
