Publisher's Synopsis
THIS IS MARTIN BOYD'S SECOND AUTOBIOGRAPHY, THE FIRST BEING WRITTEN IN 1938. 'DAY OF MY DELIGHT' DEALS WITH THE LATTER PART OF HIS LIFE WHEN HE WENT TO LIVE IN ROME, WHERE HE LIVED UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1972. HE WROTE THIS BOOK TO RECTIFY SOME OF THE INACCURACIES IN HIS EARLIER BIOGRAPHY 'A SINGLE FLAME' WHEN HE DELIBERATELY INVENTED FICTIONAL CHARACTERS TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM LIBEL. NOW ALL THE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN HURT ON FIRST PUBLICATION ARE DEAD, AND MARTIN BOYD GIVES THE REAL NAMES OF THE PEOPLE.
