Still a long wait till 2037. Thanks for showing the beautiful book shelf and the volumes of OED.

Unique information in the field of English Language.

Can you please discuss the red bookcase(s) by the curtains next to the ladder? I'd love to know where it comes from.

Your video fills me with sweetness. I discovered Waugh in a contemplative monastery many years ago.

That is THE BEST homekeeping book. THE BEST.

Lovely absolutely lovely thank you

What a gentleman! It's pleasure to watch

You must get your pronunciation correct of the town and district in Mozambique called 'Tete'. The correct way to say it is " Teyt" not "Te Te".

What the heck are you wearing? Pijamas or tuxedo? Is that comfortable to use at home?

I have the first three books. Her first book was recommended to me by a lady who may have known this author. I have many books on people growing up in Africa. One book I found was A Child of Happy Valley by Juanita Carberry a book if you can find it rates highly on my reading list. Of interest a good friend of ours was telling me about his grandfather growing up in Kenya during that era. I said I have a book you maybe interested in, I showed him this book and he immediately said his grandfather knew her and that as a young child living back in England he got some presents from Juanita. I love true stories and am wading through writings by authors who grew up in Iran and Afghanistan.

Discovered Waugh in college half a century ago when he wasn't read much in America. Such a wonderful writer!

Crazy

Sir Nicholas Hoare, su conocimiento y estilo son excepcionales en el mundo actual, acabo de descubrir su canal por sugerencia de KZbin, ya que soy consumada anglofila,.......... Pero lamentablemente soy casi neofita en el glorioso idioma ingles. Por tal razón agradezco inmensamente si pudiese activar la opción de subtitulos automáticos incluído el español, que es mi lengua materna. Será de gran ayuda para mí aprendizaje y superación personal el contar con la herramienta de los subtitulos. Gracias por su atención y espero que pueda ayudarme.🙏

I've been looking for a good biography of VSW. I was trying to decide between this one and the one by Victoria Glendinning. I settled on this one based on your review. I might still pick up the Glendinning bio at some point. I also have both the other books you recommended. Creation of a Garden is superb, and I have yet to read the Adam Nicholson book but it looks great. Excellent and enchanting review of an enchanting personage.

Very disappointed-- where were all the old hoares...? Just kidding; nice house, though.

The OED is an impressive tome...I wonder how the future will see it. I've had a Harvard Unabridged for decades...It's magical to look through it but; The computer has replaced it for general purposes...I'm in my 60's and sadly the world no longer admires feats of intellectual grandeur...Finding people that read, or have read, anything of substance is the sighting of a rare bird. Shakespeare is all but dead. Melville and even Twain are no more discussed than the steam engines of their time... The world must be turned on its head for the great change it silently shrieks for to occur ......Thanks for the video...I learned from it...

On 383 acres, this five bedroom house is listed for C$ 4.8 million.

Wonderful ! I am a bit obsessed with the Pip Torrens portrayal of the character! Ty again

The irreverence for words in our current age flummoxes me, greatly.

great editing

Thank you sir! Great telling of scholarship!

What are your half-dozen favourite essays written by Hitch ? Mine would include his long essays on Proust and Churchill, his essay on Raymond Williams and Orwell, the one you read an excerpt from on Women and Humour, as well as essays on Kipling and on the King James Bible.

His book 'Deluge' is stupendous. A marvelous informative narrative.

You’re a great seller. I read both books, didn’t like them, but your sales perk is making me want to read the second one again.

This is exactly what I expect a rich man's room to look like, I'm more interested in his book collection.

Thank you for this video 👍🏽

Cecil Beaton by Hugo Vickers is a great read, very entertaining. :)

удивительный человек. спасибо.

Completely agree! It's a page turner, I'm dyslexic but still love reading, so books that are hard to put down are a blessing. Highly recommend it to everyone!

I enjoyed your engaging commentary. I only wish that you had kept the examples on the screen long enough for us to actually see/appreciate the interior and to absorb how your commentary related to that interior.

Austerity must of been terrible! ...Seems to me the Fat Cats should have been cut off first, those on the bottom should never have noticed!

I just watched the Movie with Anne Bancroft and Sir Anthony Hopkins....in as much as the Era and that NY-Attitude shown through, I hated the ending! I didn't really get moved by her at that point....I felt at that point she should just return all the Books and open the Shop back up! ...but, I guess then that would be Hollywood! :) I am certain someone will say the book ending was much more clever than "Here I am, Frankie, I finally made it." ....Oy Vey!

Your in Vermont not Oxford bro😅 the smoking jacket and bowtie is a bit much

Espectacular

Reading The Dictionary of Lost Words.... thus the curiosity lead me to this video.

Great guy. Sir Roy Strong has some great diaries, and knew Cecil very well.

Thank you for the review. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, my Aunts father, a local doctor, received a call one night from the police station in his part of Scotland, could the doctor visit the station there was a man in the cell with a broken ankle? When the door swung open, there in the corner of the cell was the number 2 in the Third Reich. They were desperate times though, the doctor had a file of lethal drugs in his surgery for him and the who family, including children, if the Nazis ever conquered Britain. But fortunately we had the Royal Navy, The Royal airforce, and many good friends abroad who helped us when Britain was alone amongst European countries, being unconquered. What amazes me is all of this was so recent in terms of history.

Beautiful ❤ thanks

" If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in the world can satisfy, then the most probable explanation is that we are made for another world " Maybe I found the world that satisfy me ) And it's here

This was great! Thank you for sharing!😊

Wonderful

It's pronounced 'Pole,' as you must (or should) know.

I admire your curtains. The cats are also splendid.

Thank you for the video! Stunning book selections!
