And Harold Nicolson, after detailing the overwhelming mass of material facing the biographer, commented: 'To produce a book in which there is no trace of artificiality or strain - this, in all certainty, is an achievement which required the very highest gifts of intellect and imagination.' The cover, designed by Germano Facetti, shows a detail from The Coronation of Queen Victoria' by John Martin, in the Tate Gallery (photo Rodney Todd-White) Vissza
