Witty and eccentric Behind the Scenes at the Museum of Baked Beans traces Hunter Davies' search for the strangest collections in the UK
Hunter Davies is a master collector and prolific writer. From his biography of The Beatles, reissued by Ebury in 2009, to his classic football book The Glory Game his publishing history is as diverse as it is successful; he has also ghosted everyone from Wayne Rooney to John Prescott. Hunter Davies also writes for The Sunday Times, Guardian, Daily Mail and The New Statesman and presented Bookshelf on BBC Radio 4 for three years.
Affable, curious, unpretentious, never dull, Hunter is one of the
most agreeable egomaniacs I know
*Michael Palin*
I love Hunter to bits, and he cannot write a boring line
*Jilly Cooper*
Only Hunter Davies, the sage of the Lake District, could have come
up with the worst idea yet for a book - Behind the Scenes at the
Museum of Baked Beans. Only Hunter Davies could have made it
irresistible and have publishers all over Britain asking themselves
why they didn't think of it. Stand by for a rash of clones.
Meanwhile, buy it and read it
*Michael Grade*
Only Hunter Davies could write a book called Behind the Scenes at
the Museum of Baked Beans and only Hunter Davies could make it as
entertaining, informative and whimsical as this
*Alastair Campbell*
This is "show and tell" on a grand scale. The bizarre world of
weird and wonderful collections and hoardings laid bare by our own
national treasure, Hunter Davies. Delicious
*Helena Kennedy*
