Publisher's Summary

David Niven is remembered as one of Britain's best-loved actors. The archetypal English gentleman, he starred in over ninety films. He is also one of Hollywood's finest chroniclers. In this second volume, David Niven turns his attention to 'The Great Days of Hollywood' between 1935 and 1960. These were times of legendary film stars and despotic producers, of tycoons, of oddballs, and of classic movies. Rich in anecdote, and written in his inimitable humorous style, Bring on the Empty Horses is perhaps the most acclaimed sequel to an autobiography ever written.

Unabridged book version better

While I enjoyed this rather short excerpt of David Niven's book, I would have preferred the original unabridged book version more.

Too many older biographies and autobiographies are only available from second hand book stores. I wish more of them were available on Audible. The Moon is a Balloon is not even available in audio format.

I wish they could put those great books onto audio format as many great books will eventually become lost forever.
