A Positively Final Appearance: A Journal 1996-98

Sir Alec Guinness' wonderfully funny and acute observations on everything going on around him - from new film versions of Shakespeare's plays to the Speaker of the House of Commons. The years surveyed are the end of the 90s - they begin with a series of hilarious but reassuring visits to the doctor and move seamlessly to reminiscences of the worst Romeo ever - Sir Alec himself. The result is a wonderfully entertaining follow-up to the bestselling MY NAME ESCAPES ME. "Wise, witty and good-humoured" The Times "A revealing book of unremitting pleasure" Country Life
