Want more/similar Max HASTINGS titles please search my SIGNED NAVAL/MILITARY and GENERAL catalogues. Max Hasting's account of his family's tumultuous twentieth-century experiences embraces the worlds of fashion and newspapers theatre and TV pioneering in Africa and even - his father's most exotic stunt - being cast away on a desert island in the Indian Ocean.The author is the son of broadcaster and adventurer Macdonald Hastings and journalist and garden writer Anne Scott-James.One of his grandfathers was a literary editor while the other wrote plays essays and an enchanting memoir of his own Victorian childhood. His great-uncle was an African hunter who wrote verse and became one of Max's heroes. Hastings tells a richly picaresque story featuring guest appearances by a host of celebrities from Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad to John Betjeman and Osbert Lancaster who became his mother's third husband. 'All families are dysfunctional' Anne asserted impenintently to Max but the Hastingses managed to be more dysfunctional than most. His father roamed the world for newspapers and as a presenter for BBC TV's legendary 'Tonight' ptogramme while his mother edited 'Harper's Bazaar' became a famous columnist and wrote best-selling gardening books. Hastings brings together this remarkable cast of forebears 'a tribe of eccentrics' as he himself characterises them.By turns moving dramatic and comic the book portrays his own childhood fraught with rows and explosions in which the sudden death of a television set was only one highlight. His story will make a lot of people laugh and perhaps a few cry.It helps to explain why Max Hastings whose family has produced more than eighty books over three generations felt bound to follow their path of high adventure and popular journalism.
