Description

Sir Cecil Beaton (1904 –1980) was an English fashion, portrait and war photographer, painter, diarist and Academy Award–winning stage and costume designer. 

For almost as long as he could write, Cecil Beaton kept his diaries. They accumulated year after year, and from a formidable pile of notebooks he extracted enough to fill six volumes. 

This first volume covers seventeen years from 1922 to 1939 and is a fascinating and disarming book. 

He describes his friendships with famous men and women, artists, writers, actors, film stars and celebrated socialites.

Few franker autobiographical documents have seen the light of day. 

THE WANDERING YEARS is the first volume of Cecil Beaton’s Diaries, a personal memoir of the twentieth century, covering famous artists and photographers, political figures, socialites, the rich & famous and movie stars.
