The authorised biography, 640 pages, meticulously researched. With access to private papers and by talking to countless people, Coldstream has written the definitive work which is also wonderfully readable. Bogarde’s own account of his childhood, unavailable for some years, A Postillion Struck by Lightening (Phoenix) is republished at the same time.
'Biographies only tend to be definitive until the next one comes along, but there's no danger of Coldstream's erudite, moving analysis ever being superseded' Independent on Sunday
