George Melly was an unignorable figure in the more louche cultural circles in London between the 1950s and 90s. He first came to notice as a Jazz singer, notable for risque songs performed with verve rather than with great technical ability. This is a supplementary volume of autobiography which treats in more detail Melly's long-lasting attraction to Surrealism, and his friendship with the character who headed up the English Surrealist group: E.L.T. Mesens (their adventures form the core of this book - adventures which ELT was keen should not get back to Sybil, his wife).
