Description
The late James Lees-Milne (1908-1997) was among the most celebrated of modern diarists; his published entries (which span the years 1942 through 1974) offer an unparalleled social and cultural portrait of modern and because of the author's decades in the service of The National Trust historic Britain. Another Self narrates the author's early life, before his diaries begin: childhood in Worcestershire under the mismatched wings of a flighty mother and an obdurate father; studies at Eton and Oxford; holidays in Portugal and bandit-ridden Corsica; army service at the start of World War II. What distinguishes this civilized and humorous autobiography is the way Lees-Milne's memories are made to cohere into shapely comedies; each chapter is a set piece of deft characterization and outrageous anecdote.
