Hitherto, Count Charles Korsetz has never written anything except cheques; but here is his own entrancing account of the great days at Korsetz Castle, and of the parties and partis of a vanished Europe where he moved with aplomb in a world of fantastic wealth and extraordinary breeding.' Cecil Beaton's spoof memoir of an Eastern-European aristocrat, written in a similar vein to My Royal Past. The Count's narrative tells of the merry-go-round of European society and travel, broken up by the two World Wars. Anecdotes are populated by a thinly disguised cast of social extras, such as Mr W. Somerset W. Morn and Lady Coalfax. The text is complemented by spoof photographs. The American gossip columnist and author, Elsa Maxwell gamely plays the part of the Count, masquerading in a series of wigs and bald-caps. Other parts are modelled by Mae Murray, Sandra Douglas-Home, Charmain Montagu Douglas Scott, Perlita Neilson and Martita Hunt. The cover of the dust jacket features a portrait by 'the fashionable painter Beatknik'.

Great all around and durable. Will last a long time.
Size: Large-X-Large, Color: Black/Anthracite/White
Great hat for being lightweight yet holding the sweat it needs to while also being cooling with the air vent holes. Perfect velcro that moves and does not collect junk in the wash. Durable and is long lasting. Have used for many months and wear a visor daily. It is my favorite.

Great lightweight & breathable visor for the outdoors
This visor is nice & light-weight. I love the style & the tiny holes in front for breathability! I’m a huge Nike fan & appreciate the sturdiness, softness & comfort. It has a soft velcro adjustment, so it doesn’t scratch the back of your head, which is a plus. Value for the money is a little high, but well worth it since it’s my go-to hat for playing tennis, running or walking. Highly recommend this to others.
