- About the Book
-
The extraordinary life of an extraordinary woman. Born into a flamboyant family in 1911, the young Cécile married a middle-aged Professor of Philosophy, mixing with intellectual superstars of the day such as Russell, Moore, Huxley and Haldane. At fifty-eight she began touring the world solo in a campervan; becoming known as the ‘World’s oldest hippy’, she travelled until she was eighty-four.
Here, Cécile not only recreates the remarkable details of her life, but provides real insight into her times and her own social, psychological and sexual journey through those times.
