Description: Hold the Front Page! : The Wit and Wisdom of Anne Scott-James, Hardcover by Hastings, Clare, ISBN 1910258717, ISBN-13 9781910258712, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In 1953 pioneering journalist Anne Scott-James started to write a weekly column for the Sunday Express newspaper. &;The Anne Scott-James Page&; set the bar for a new way of writing. Scott-James perfected the art of the short, sharp column &; and many of the topics she covered are equally on-trend today. She cogently expressed her views on men, children, fashion, beauty, food, interiors, travel, and anything else that took her fancy. Political opinions might be squashed between thoughts on eyebrow tweezing and a piece on swimsuit lines. Scott-James was a great believer in entertaining her readers, and her columns are sharp, witty, to the point, often very funny, sometimes very moving. In Hold the Front Page! a selection of the Sunday Express columns is brought together with a commentary by her daughter, writer Clare Hastings, and with photographs from the Scott-James/Hastings family albums and drawings by Osbert Lancaster, Scott-James&;s third husband, to provide a fascinating insight into the 1950s &; and into the public and private life of one of the most celebrated columnists of the twentieth century.
