Revealing the tireless, genuinely philanthropic man behind the smoking jacket and cigarette holder, this book is an absolute treat for fans of 'The Master'. - Zeb Soanes 'A wonderful revelation of a side of Noel's character that so few people know about.' - Michael Attenborough CBE 'We think this is a fascinating subject. Your style is accessible and interesting so I could imagine this having wide appeal.' - Mia Christou at ABR.
