One to dip intoOctober 18, 2008 A. Byrne(Ireland) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a perfect coffee table read ; one to dip into from time to time.
The format is obituaries published by various authors in The Times. The result is a wide range of writing styles, sensitively and respectfully written.
This is an excellent book for those wishing to sample the Great Lives, perhaps with a view to whetting the appetite for more complete biographies.
