"Alec Guinness is kind enough to reveal a little of his early home life before he becomes disgusted with his ego (which he introduces in a funny self-efacing introduction) and goes on to support the egos of people he admired, such as John Gielgud, Lawrence Olivier and other folks only Anglophiles would know of. Sir Guinness also details a bit of his life during world war II and somewhat dismisses whatever discomfort his wife suffered during that period raising their child without him. Overall, written dryly but with tender humor."
