Audiobooks
Britain's 20th century seen through the prism of one extraordinary family. From the embers of a gilded age, through the first and second world wars, until Cool Britannia and beyond - this book is a touching and at times heartbreaking reverie on fortune, fate and passion. A tribute to the many personalities that bind Vanessa Branson's intergenerational memoir as it weaves a vivid tapestry of English eccentrics, heroes, lovers and villains. Along the way we witness the rough and tumble of the author's post war village childhood, and follow her adventures from opening a London art gallery to the founding of a major arts festival in North Africa, restoring an ancient palace into a world famous hotel and actually finding Neverland - the private island where J.M. Barrie worked on writing 'Peter Pan'.
