Memories and observations from a remarkable acting life
Vintage Fair Condition - Rubbed/soiled covers, corner creases, a rear retail price label and a creased spine. Third impression, November 1986.
Alec Guinness looks back on his life and career through recollections that combine the world of performance with the people and experiences surrounding it. Theatre, film and personal encounters provide the material, but the memoir also makes room for unexpected observations and the quieter details of an actor's life. Guinness writes with an eye for character and an ability to find humour in human behaviour, offering a view beyond the familiar roles for which audiences know him. Blessings in Disguise is both a personal account and a collection of memorable portraits, bringing wit, affection and self-reflection to the circumstances that helped shape a distinctive career on stage and screen.
