Description

'It's assumed nowadays that autobiography will uncover hidden areas of a life, be sexually candid and reveal its author to be vulnerable and self-doubting at heart. Prince Charming meets these requirements but achieves much more . . . It rescues from the wreckage of various phases and crazes (where is Jazz poetry now) a man indisputably and agonisingly committed to his art.'

Alan Brownjohn, Observer
