JOAN LE MESURIER — Dear John

UK, Sidgwick & Jackson, London. 2001. Hardcover with dust jacket, 22cm. Book, one reviewer wrote - "Not only did I find Dear John to be a fascinating read and easy to get into, I was also impressed by Joan's writing style. I assume she wrote it herself, as she has written a couple of others books, there is no mention of a ghost writer and her voice came over well. Her warmth, love and affection for her late husband are very evident, but her words are never too sickly-sweet or overly sentimental. When reading it, I could almost visualize her writing it, smiling to herself remembering her husband and occasionally laughing out loud at some of the things he said and did." How could you not love John le Mesurier - this is a great adjunct to 'Lady Don't Fall Backwards', Joan's book about her liason with Hancock. You'll probably read this in 1-3 sittings. Excellent/Excellent.
