Originally published in 1923. This is not so much an account of his life as a series of impressions, a jumble of letters and anecdotage without much sense of organisation. However, it includes many of Gilbert's most entertaining letters, and the authors' determination to see Gilbert's best side is an excellent corrective to David Eden.
