If there's a person that David Niven didn't meet in Hollywood then he certainly hasn't mentioned it! Humorous, warm and extremely readable - a much loved book of mine over many decades. Whenever I need a good standby for a long journey then this is the one I dig out. Now I want it on my e-reader so I can enjoy it in the 21st century!
