When Jeannie and Derek Tangye withdrew to a cliff-top flower farm in Cornwall, sophisticated London society protested. But an even wider circle was enriched by their enchanted life. When Jeannie died in 1986, Derek wrote this tribute to her and their extraordinary marriage. All the delights of the Minack Chronicles are here—the daffodils, donkeys, and Cornish magic. The fizzle and pop of champagne days at the Savoy is also captured as Jeannie dazzles her admirers—from Danny Kaye to Christian Dior.
