Manners and Mischief

An A-Z of a Life Lived Well

By: Anne Glenconner

Narrated by: Anne Glenconner

Filled with sparkling anecdotes and tales of living life to the full.

Lady Anne Glenconner, Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Margaret and Maid of Honour at the Queen’s Coronation, returns with a rich, sparkling memoir told through an A to Z of her life. From affairs of the heart and Basil’s Bar to dinners with the King and the art of entertaining each chapter reveals a vivid moment of joy, mischief or resilience.

Whether offering tips on getting out of the bath with grace, or how to lose at cards with Princess Margaret, she shares wisdom and memory in equal measure. This book is a love letter to a disappearing world and a reminder that life, at any age, should be faced with laughter, a stiff upper lip, and the odd vodka tonic.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Short chapters on all sorts!

Each short chapter gives interesting snippets of mischief! Lady Glenconner must have been a great companion to Princess Margaret, I bet they had a great time. I've always imagined it to be impossible to have a friend who can 100% keep your secrets confidential but Lady Glenconner has not given anything away, just snippets of what she's experienced put together in great taste. I love that LG is the narrator and I LOVE her voice, even though I am British too, I am being much more careful to pronounce the 't's' at the end of my words now! I was very sad to hear that she had herself been through unimaginable sadness but she didn't go into it much in this book. This book has made me more interested in her other books now, even her fiction books.

Love the author

Amazing listen. This author is a treasure and we are blessed to be allowed to take another peek into her unique and interesting life. Thank you for another beautiful book.
