5*, its Alan Bennett isn't it.

Typical Alan Bennett but too short!

5,000 words at most, which doesn't make it brilliant value for money, but a fine series of recollections from AB. Full of withering apercus.

Elated to learn that The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford is one of Alan Bennett's favourite books

My only complaint. This was too short.

I could read Bennett for days and this is at best a short essay. It's wonderful but there isn't enough.

The beginning was great but got more meandering as it continued.
