Hardback. Condición: Good. From the bestselling author of>A Book of Secrets, a brisk, charming, illustrated account of a motoring lifeAs a child, Michael Holroyd spent his best hours in his family's cramped garage, which contained a wealth of magical, exciting objects. But the most intriguing by far was the one in the middle of the room--the family's eight-horsepower black Ford, which had found in the garage a permanent home and in Holroyd a dedicated caretaker. Sitting in the backseat--his own private castle--he began his love affair with the automobile. On Wheels is the story of the cars and drivers that inspired and affected Holroyd throughout his life. Ranging from drives around the country with his father, a car obsessive, to the baroque horrors of his austere driving instructor, to the liberating pleasures of automatic transmission, On Wheels is an automotive autobiography--the story of times and places that mattered to the author, told through the cars that bore witness. My biographies, Holroyd writes, became increasingly filled with motoring exploits--something of which I was unaware until recently, and so>On Wheels is also a reflection on the author's many brilliant biographical subjects--Bernard Shaw, Lytton Strachey, and many others--and their own relationships to the open road. Casually intimate and often riotously funny, On Wheels is a master biographer's miniature self-portrait--and an indelible reflection on his great passion.…

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. First US Edition. Type: Hardback First US Edition Hardcover and Dust Jacket As New. A dozen evocative illustrations by Finn Campbell-Notman. As a child Michael Holroyd spent his daydreaming hours in the back seat of the family eight-horsepower Buick which almost never left the garage. Now, his imagination travels back in time to various adventurous happenings in a car or driving--his father driving with his German Shepherd on his lap, paws on the wheel, for example. Interweaved with his memories are vivid sketches of great writers and artists who have been his life's focus: Augustus John, who always drove in first gear; George Bernard Shaw, who wouldn't give up driving as he grew older and his chauffuer often had to grab the wheel and shout, "That will do, sir". And many other intimate, often riotously funny happenings. This is a brilliant self-portrait, as seen in the rearview mirror and a reflection on a lifelong passion. 104 pages. 5.25 x 7.75 inches. 2013, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York.…
