- catalog abstract "In Halfway to Heaven, the final volume of his memoirs, Rupert Hart-Davis recalls the last fifty years of his life, and the many famous actors and writers he knew, among them Peggy Ashcroft (his first wife), Joyce Grenfell, Arthur Ransome, Alistair Cooke and T.S. Eliot. He recounts the post-war establishment of Rupert Hart-Davis Ltd, with David (Bunny) Garnett, whose wife, Angelica, produced the company's sign, and his work as a publisher, including publication of one of its most successful ventures, Heinrich Harrer's Seven Years in Tibet, and the start of his great friendship with Siegfried Sassoon, whose letters and diaries he later edited. Alongside this he also tells us of family life in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire, and of his love for Ruth Simon, who eventually became his wife. With many black and white photographs from the author's personal albums, this biography will entertain anyone interested in the literary and theatrical life of the last half of the twentieth century.".
