What a delightful surprise! I read a review of this is the UK Spectator, and I could not be happier that I bought it from Amazon.co.uk. (It is not published in the US). It consists of short anecdotes about meetings--often moving, always enlightening and revealing--between famous people. For example, did you know or ever even imagine that a young English aristocrat knocked Adolf Hitler down with his car in 1931--and regretted for the rest of his life that the then minor German politican was not killed? The book is just full of stories like that. The meeting between Helen Keller and Martha Graham is unforgettably moving, a glorious three pages of exquisite human drama. I'm in love with this book!
