"In wartime England, Ritchie, as Second Secretary at the Canadian High Commission, served as private secretary to Vincent Massey, whose second-in-command was Lester B. Pearson, future prime minister of Canada. In a perfect position to observe both statecraft and the London social whirl that continued even during the war, Ritchie provides a fascinating, perceptive, and (surprisingly) humorous picture of the London Blitz the people in the parks, the shabby streets, the heightened love affairs and the vagaries of the British at war. There are also glimpses of the great, and portraits of noted artists and writers that he knew well." ; 5.51 X 0.71 X 8.49 inches; 256 pages .
