Reviews

'A luxuriant photo-history' - Prospect 'An extraordinary career is celebrated with behind-the-scenes shots and informative prose' - The Times 'Intelligently constructed' - Independent on Sunday 'Shone's analysis is most piercing ... [his] prose has a beauty of its own, abounding in nonchalantly exquisite turns of phrase' - Observer
