Editorial Reviews

The 60 recollections reveal some of the many facets of this enigmatic artist--adventurer and recluse, Polish gallant and neurotic modernist, Edwardian country gentleman and penniless beggar. Impressions are recorded from such vastly different individuals as his fellow writers, Lawrence of Arabia, and a regular at his local pub. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
