’19th February 1956. A A Milne has died. Lord Beaverbrook has not … Larry is going to make a movie of The Sleeping Prince with Marilyn Monroe, which might conceivably drive him round the bend’
’28th February 1960 Princess Margaret has announced her engagement to Tony Armstrong-Jones … He looks quite pretty, but whether or not the marriage is entirely suitable remains to be seen.’

Touching, funny and revealing, THE NOEL COWARD DIARIES is a superb account of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
