Essential Noel Coward Compendium: The Very Best of His Work, Life and Times

Edited by Barry Day.

Noel Coward was a prolific entertainer with over fifty plays and musicals, songs, verse, two and a half volumes of autobiography, books of quotations, a novel, diaries, and letters to his name. This compendium represents the very best of Noel Coward in one entertaining volume - with extracts from the best scenes from his plays, and screenplays, songs, poems, and a entire short story. Brief extracts are also included from his autobiography, diaries and letters, caricature drawings, photographs, anecdotes and trivia.
If you only buy one book on Noel Coward, or do not have time to wade through other more substantial works on his life and times, this book represents an excellent tasting menu for those who want to sample the full flavour of Coward.
