Of all the amazing life stories to come out of the first half of the 20th century few can be more remarkable than that of Bettina Mendl ... the voyage of discovery is well told and the insight into elegant Viennese life is fascinating.

A Story Dreamt Long Ago ... Phyllis tells her mother's remarkable story with an impressive voice; smoothly paced and emotionally intelligent. If you like memoirs, this one is definitely worth tracking down.

Probably the most original and magnetic speaker of the festival was Phyllis McDuff...even captivated a large audience of teenagers.

What a joy and inspiration it was to hear you speak yesterday!

Your presentation was just magnificent … you held the audience in the palm of your hand.

The best book I've ever read!

Whilst your subject material is fascinating, the real achievement of your work is the quality of the writing.
