Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-31 00:00:00 Matt Hew A collection of speeches by Davies on the theater, opera and related topics, compiled and introduced by his wife and daughter. Davies was accomplished in many fields of writing: novels, plays, essays and more. It turns out he was an interesting speaker as well. This collection has a number of real gems, but as one might expect, is a bit uneven. It's worth perusing, though; Davies is knowledgeable and entertaining. If you have an interest in the performing arts, give it a try.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-12 00:00:00 David King No rating because I just couldn't get through it. Bought it years ago and have started several times - presents Davies as an old fuddy duddy. Not my cup of tea.
