The Moon's a Balloon

David Niven's utterly charming memoir reads like you're sharing a G&T with Hollywood's wittiest raconteur. From his chaotic childhood to his glittering film career, Niven spins tales of Errol Flynn, Laurence Olivier, and the golden age of cinema with self-deprecating humour and genuine warmth. It's gossipy without being mean, nostalgic without being maudlin—just pure, elegant storytelling. Perfect for anyone who loves Old Hollywood glamour, brilliant wit, or memoirs that feel like a masterclass in how to tell a good story.
