Hugo Vickers

Throughout his writing life, Hugo Vickers has been obsessed by the beau monde and above all, the aristocracy and the crown. His latest novel The Sphinx is a fresh and revealing biography drawing on Gladys Deacons personal archive along with Vickers’s own research, uncovering a beguiling, clever, independent woman who was the brightest star of her age.

Hugo Vickers is a writer of singular talent. No one else alive and working today can do what he does.

Who was in charge of production? I very much enjoyed this documentary: very informative, but the graphics are shoddy. Why not feature the photographs, the paintings larger? Are the Raworths and Harrowgate logos in the lower left and top right hand corners really necessary? The photos, paintings could have been so much larger. The documentary could have been so much more visually appealing. Agreed?

I’ve heard Gladys kept a revolver at her plate when she had dinner with the Duke of Marlborough. Was he abusive?
