Finger Lickin' Good

FIRST British EDITION, Hardcover in dust jacket. Finger Lickin' Good: A Kentucky Childhood by Paul Levy was published in 1990. From the dj flap: "Paul Levy is best known as the broadcaster and food and wine writer whose columns in the Observer and dozens of other publications 'ignited a food revolution in Britain.' Readers are sometimes surprised to learn that he is also the author of a standard work on the origins of the Bloomsbury Group and the Cambridge Apostles. "He describes himself as 'a bearded, middle-aged American, born in the South, of 100% Russian Jewish ancestry.' Finger-Lickin' Good is his own account of 'growing up absurd' among the blue-bloods, the black people and the Thoroughbred horses of his native Kentucky."
