Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First US Edition. Type: Hardback First US Edition Hardcover and Dust Jacket As New. A dozen evocative illustrations by Finn Campbell-Notman. As a child Michael Holroyd spent his daydreaming hours in the back seat of the family eight-horsepower Buick which almost never left the garage. Now, his imagination travels back in time to various adventurous happenings in a car or driving--his father driving with his German Shepherd on his lap, paws on the wheel, for example. Interweaved with his memories are vivid sketches of great writers and artists who have been his life's focus: Augustus John, who always drove in first gear; George Bernard Shaw, who wouldn't give up driving as he grew older and his chauffuer often had to grab the wheel and shout, "That will do, sir". And many other intimate, often riotously funny happenings. This is a brilliant self-portrait, as seen in the rearview mirror and a reflection on a lifelong passion. 104 pages. 5.25 x 7.75 inches. 2013, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York.
