A man of unusual versatility, Derek Patmore won fame as an expert on interior decoration, as a playwright, as a travel writer and as a biographer. His Private History gives a comprehensive picture of a social world which has now passed into the realms of history. The bulk of the book deals with life in England during the 1920s and 1930s and the author, in addition to recounting his own experiences, attempts to analyze the whole social background of the period.
