Fabulous Letter writing

And the 200+ illustrations add greatly to the story telling.


It’s got everything: Savvy. Witty. Loving. Bitchy.  And often, surprisingly moving.


This is a remarkable portrait of an era, of the man himself, and a world he lived in and enchanted.

Oh to have been a friend or acquaintance and get a letter from him!  What a delight it would have been.

Bernard Shaw. T.E. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, the Churchills, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, FDR ..They are all here.  Close encounters with close friends and with the great and the gifted.

Our Mantra should be

The theme is as relevant today as it was when it was written and performed so many times since.

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
