Fool's Gold?: Discerning Truth in an Age of Error

In this book, the first volume of her autobiography, Joyce Grenfell tells the story of her life up to 1954: a madcap childhood as the daughter of Nancy Astor's youngest sister; social life on the fringes of a stately home, Clivedon Manor; recruited as radio critic of The Observer; entertainment tour of the Middle East; first revue attempt and then at last her own show, Joyce Grenfell Request the Pleasure.
