This volume brings together Coward''s celebrated verse, from snappy epigrams to seven-hundred-line short stories such as ''P&O 1930'' and ''Not Yet the Dodo''; from moving war-time encounters to satirical barbs at familiar Coward targets; and from personal reminiscences to occasional verse such as his tribute to Ivor Novello or his counter-attack on Graham Greene.
Includes an introduction by Martin Tickner and Coward''s long-time companion, Graham Payn.
