Daydream Believer
$12.99
The wonderfully witty and self-deprecating memoir of Hugh Massingberd, much-loved editor of the Daily Telegraph Books of Obituaries and immortalized by Private Eye as 'Hugh Massivesnob'.
"Intensely comical ... contains some of the funniest scenes I have seen in print this year" - Jeremy Paxman, OBSERVER
"Although en route we do meet plenty of people more famous ... none of them can begin to match the charm of the book's bumbling narrator in his Dickensian progression from weedy daydreamer, to failed solicitor, country squire, genealogist, obituarist and lurker at stage doors. This man is an institution, one of the great English eccentrics of our time." - James Delingpole, LITERARY REVIEW
