Nancy Spain was one of the most celebrated - and notorious - writers and broadcasters of the 40s, 50s and 60s. Hilarious, controversial and brilliant, she lived openly as a lesbian (sharing a household with her two lovers and their various children) and was frequently litigated against for her newspaper columns - Evelyn Waugh successfully sued her for libel... twice. She was also a fantastic crime novelist (and according to the Guardian, one of the 50 best female crime thriller writers of all time).
Following on from WHY I AM NOT A MILLIONAIRE, with the same wit, style and fascinating detail, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY is also about her time spent on Skiathos, showing Nancy Spain's glorious warmth and love of life. 'Full of fun, and that zest of intelligence that never left her ... Sharing her own feelings of happiness was Nancy's art and privilege, a rare on in this day and place' Sunday Times
