Reviews

[Paul Doody · Rating 5 out of 5]

George Lyttleton, Oxford Don, complained that no one ever wrote to him. Rupert Hart-Davis, one of his former students, promised to begin a correspondence with him, and for the next six years, until the older man's death, one of the most fascinating of all correspondences was carried-out. In three volumes, we can read the endlessly charming, chatty, joyful letters of these two brilliant, creative men.
