Review

[Astaire] likeable personality illuminates an anecdotal, very eventful account. (Booklist)

[Astaire] tells his tale simply and graciously, with many a bow to his partners and associates, in a style as breezy as an Astaire performance. (Library Journal)

The writing, like his dancing is precise and debonair, and his book recalls past gaieties—his own and his audiences'—without a trace of wistfulness. (The New Yorker)

This book is brimming over with fresh and amusing anecdotes about Britain's royal family, international society, as well as many of the great names of the theater and of Hollywood. And, for full measure, he's tossed in more than forty illustrations that make a pictorial history that alone is worth the price of admission. (The New York Times)
