The Harold Nicolson Diaries 1907-1963

About this book

Harold Nicolson is one of the three great political diarists of the 20th century. Nicolson was an MP who attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. He never achieved high office but rarely a day went by when he didnt record what was going on at Westminster. He socialized widely was married to the poet and author Vita Sackville-West and together they created the famous garden at Sissinghurst. The diversity of Harold Nicolsons interests and the irony in his writing make his diary a highly entertaining record of his life and times as well as a document of great historical value.
