Stanley Price’s collected pieces for The Oldie, introduced by Munro Price From the Foreword by Maureen Lipman: “He was a quietly unshowy and elegant writer ... He was erudite, airy, emotional, dry, witty and intellectual but wore his gifts lightly and never on his sleeve.” From the Introduction by Munroe Price: “They look back on the most memorable encounters of his life as a writer. They have a cast to die for: Marilyn Monroe, Noël Coward, Gloria Swanson, Laurence Olivier, Sophia Loren, Gregory Peck, Maureen Lipman, Woody Allen, the Duchess of Argyll, Benito Mussolini, and many more. They are also often side-splittingly funny, and contain some of his best writing.”
