Dust Jacket reads: Now, for the first time, his life is told full-scale-as no one else could know it or tell it-by the man who, from 1936 to Coward's death in 1973, was his secretary, friend, collaboator, companion and confidant. The result is a biography of the most extraordinary richness and immediacy-cranned with theatrical history and personal anecdotes. Here is the precocious boyhood-at seven, playing by ear most of the score, complete with verses and the correct harmonies, for a show he'd just seen that afternoon..at twelve, a child performer touring the music halls, and the famous meeting with Gertrude Lawrence when she was fifteen {'from then on Noel loved her and she loved him'}. And the aspiring young playwright-actor: the sudden fame, at twenty-five with "The Vortex" {'Everything about himself that he had unswervingly believed would come true came true in a single night'}.
