This is the 848th title since the publisher's inception.
An anthology,linked together,for the most
part,by extracts from Noel Coward's autobiographies and diaries.A celebration of Coward's generosity,over five decades, to his audience and a triumphant vindication of his own dictum: "Consider the public.Treat it with tact and courtesy.It will accept much from you if you are clever enough to win it to your side.Never fear it nor despise it.Coax it,charm it,interest it,stimulate it,shock it now and then if you must,make it laugh, make it cry and make it think,but above all,dear pioneers,in spite of indiscriminate and largely ignorant critical acclaim,in spite of awards and prizes and other dubious accolades,never never never bore the living hell out of it." He didn't.
The Folio Society’s success is due to publishing books with exceptional typography,illustrations,paper and bindings.The Society sources new introductions from literary experts to accompany classic texts,using skilled designers and master printers to produce memorable fine books in both fiction and non-fiction fields.The Folio Society also prides itself on producing series of an author's works which regular publishers might not think economic - in several cases it is only possible to acquire forgotten books by major writers in Folio Society editions.
