Filled with sparkling anecdotes and tales of living life to the full.

Lady Anne Glenconner, Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Margaret and Maid of Honour at the Queen’s Coronation, returns with a rich, sparkling memoir told through an A to Z of her life. From affairs of the heart and Basil’s Bar to dinners with the King and the art of entertaining each chapter reveals a vivid moment of joy, mischief or resilience.

Whether offering tips on getting out of the bath with grace, or how to lose at cards with Princess Margaret, she shares wisdom and memory in equal measure. This book is a love letter to a disappearing world and a reminder that life, at any age, should be faced with laughter, a stiff upper lip, and the odd vodka tonic.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Such a wonderful woman, with a most interesting long life. Very privileged but so down to earth. Wish there were more people on this earth.with her generosity of care, love and compassion.

Love Anne Glenconner. I think she has had the most interesting life. Her books are so well written and as she tells the stories herself you feel like you are at those moments in time with her.

Fabulous

Nothing to dislike except, maybe, that the book was too short. Such an interesting life that this lady has led. I would love to hear more

Just love listening to this amazing lady
