Eclectic, thoughtful and always entertaining, this well-presented selection gives a fresh perspective on an extraordinary talent.' * The Good Book Guide * 'For those who appreciate good writing and who delight in an elegantly phrased raspberry to the world's over-earnest bores, Kiss Me Chudleigh is a masterful collection of a strange but brilliant journalist.' * The National Business Review, New Zealand * Supremely funny * Mail on Sunday * A brilliant distillation of his prose. * Country Life * A tereific anthology of the twentieth century's greatest satirist. * Literary Review * A decade after his death, Auberon Waugh's genius is as fresh as ever. * Telegraph * Highly entertaining. * Independent *
