Apart from these, the wit sparkles on almost every page.| -The Observer .| . . this is one of the most delightful and entertaining memoirs of our age.| -The Washington Post |A sure hand pushes the pen; a splendid mind guides the hand. There are paragraphs in this book that . . . are models of the best of clarity, grace and beauty in the English language.| -The Dallas Morning News Born in 1903, Malcolm Muggeridge started his career as a university lecturer in Cairo before taking up journalism.
