Description

Written with humour and insight, this informal memoir is a delightful celebration of the passions that have driven Simon Brown's life. Whether recalling incidents from his early years as a barrister (courageously breaking away from the family business) or as Treasury Devil, or during the later stages of his legal career (ending as a Justice of the Supreme Court) - or whether talking about his family, telling us his golfing tales, or describing his enjoyment of the Garrick and his many travels around the world - he exudes a zest and delight in what he does and an affection for those he works with and meets that is a deeply endearing characteristic. Friendship is a constant theme, the pleasure he takes in other people. It is this extraordinary energy and enthusiasm for life that defines Simon Brown and lends this memoir its huge attraction.

Author Biography:

Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood studied History at Worcester College, Oxford before switching to Law in his second year and being called to the Bar in 1961. Following a distinguished career on the Bench (perhaps less so on the golf course!), he now sits in the House of Lords as a working crossbench peer. A prolific author over many years - although hitherto published almost exclusively in the Law Reports and Hansard - now, for the first time, Simon Brown writes for a wider readership.
