Hitherto, Count Charles Korsetz has never written anything except cheques; but here is his own entrancing account of the great days at Korsetz Castle, and of the parties and partis of a vanished Europe where he moved with aplomb in a world of fantastic wealth and extraordinary breeding.' Cecil Beaton's spoof memoir of an Eastern-European aristocrat, written in a similar vein to My Royal Past. The Count's narrative tells of the merry-go-round of European society and travel, broken up by the two World Wars. Anecdotes are populated by a thinly disguised cast of social extras, such as Mr W. Somerset W. Morn and Lady Coalfax. The text is complemented by spoof photographs. The American gossip columnist and author, Elsa Maxwell gamely plays the part of the Count, masquerading in a series of wigs and bald-caps. Other parts are modelled by Mae Murray, Sandra Douglas-Home, Charmain Montagu Douglas Scott, Perlita Neilson and Martita Hunt. The cover of the dust jacket features a portrait by 'the fashionable painter Beatknik'.

Good size and stylish. Wish it could be made shorter
Size: One Size, Color: Black
This is a great purse and very stylish. Great size. Only think I wish is that I could have adjusted it to be much shorter of a hang. I am quite small so the size is great but I am going to poke a hole in it to make it shorter and then modify the end. It will then be perfect for a night out when I don’t need much to carry.
