He is an irresistible companion.This new edition of William Plomer’s original selection contains new archival material as well as a fascinating introduction illuminating Kilvert’s world and the history of the diaries.‘One of the best books in English’ Sunday Times''Kilvert has touched and delighted (and mildly shocked) readers of his diaries ever since they were first published.
