Description - Joyce Grenfell:a Biography 1910-1979 by Janie Hampton
Joyce Grenfell (1910-1979) was a British institution and one of the country's best-loved entertainers. She achieved success as a writer and performer of songs and monologues on stage and radio at a time when it was unusual for a woman of her background to work at all. Joyce revealed little of her private life in her two autobiographies, and after her death her image was fiercely guarded by her devoted husband Reggie and her close friends, so that she came to be remembered as almost unnaturally perfect. Now, at last, it is possible to show her with all her human failings as well as her humour, kindness and generosity. The result is an affectionate portrait of a unique, complex, and loveable person.
