Lord Berners: The Last EccentricPimlico, 1999 - 274 trang Composer, writer, painter, and eccentric millionaire, Lord Berners led a life filled with music, art, travel, and high society. Stravinsky, Picasso, and Salvador Dali; the Sassoons, the Betjemans, and the Sitwells; Harold Nicolson, Frederick Ashton, and Gertrude Stein were all his friends, and many came to stay at his house near Oxford, where the pigeons were dyed all the colors of the rainbow. A charming, hugely enjoyable portrait of a life that was truly eccentric. |
