Lord Berners : The Last Eccentric

Lord Berners was a composer, writer, painter, aesthete and eccentric, indeed in Mark Amory's words 'The Last Eccentric', famously dyeing the pigeons at his house, Faringdon, in vibrant colours, and, for a time, having a giraffe as a pet and tea companion. This is a social history and a chronicle of a mad-cap English eccentric.
