The Lyrics of Noel Coward

About this book

(Taken from the dust-cover) For over fifty years Noel Coward dashed off devastating lyrics which charmed, seduced, satirized, and celebrated a world both wonderful and exceedingly delicate...a world that was just a bit brittle. Now, at the height of the Coward revival on the New York and London stages, it seems most appropriate to make available a permanent collection of those wryly romantic, slyly antic lyrics which are a tribute to the sophisticated use of language in our time. Sir Noel was a man who went everywhere and did everything. Always the generous gent, he freely shared it all with the rest of us in his delectable LYRICS.
