Hardback. Condition: Good. From the bestselling author of>A Book of Secrets, a brisk, charming, illustrated account of a motoring lifeAs a child, Michael Holroyd spent his best hours in his family's cramped garage, which contained a wealth of magical, exciting objects. But the most intriguing by far was the one in the middle of the room--the family's eight-horsepower black Ford, which had found in the garage a permanent home and in Holroyd a dedicated caretaker. Sitting in the backseat--his own private castle--he began his love affair with the automobile. On Wheels is the story of the cars and drivers that inspired and affected Holroyd throughout his life. Ranging from drives around the country with his father, a car obsessive, to the baroque horrors of his austere driving instructor, to the liberating pleasures of automatic transmission, On Wheels is an automotive autobiography--the story of times and places that mattered to the author, told through the cars that bore witness. My biographies, Holroyd writes, became increasingly filled with motoring exploits--something of which I was unaware until recently, and so>On Wheels is also a reflection on the author's many brilliant biographical subjects--Bernard Shaw, Lytton Strachey, and many others--and their own relationships to the open road. Casually intimate and often riotously funny, On Wheels is a master biographer's miniature self-portrait--and an indelible reflection on his great passion.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A Time Top Ten Nonfiction Book of 2011 A Seattle Times Best Book of 2011 On a hill above the Italian village of Ravello sits the Villa Cimbrone, a place of fantasy and make-believe. The characters who move through Michael Holroyd's A Book of Secrets are destined never to meet, yet the Villa Cimbrone and one man unite them all. This elegiac work is about the quest of unearthing and recounting the stories of women always on the periphery of the respectable world--from Alice Keppel, the mistress of both the second Lord Grimthorpe and the Prince of Wales; to Eve Fairfax, a muse of Auguste Rodin; to the novelist Violet Trefusis, the lover of Vita Sackville-West. Also on the margins is the elusive biographer, who on occasion turns an appraising eye upon himself as part of his investigations in the maze of biography.…
