About the Book

"Schama is a masterful stylist and storyteller." --Boston Globe "A writer of gorgeous prose." --Washington Post The ever erudite, always delightfully curious Simon Schama returns with Scribble, Scribble, Scribble, a wonderful compendium of thirty provocative, witty, enlightening, and stimulating essays previously published but collected in a single volume for the first time. One of our most distinguished historians and commentators, Schama, the acclaimed author of The American Future: A History, explores an amazing diversity of topics--from the political to the personal, from the earth-shaking to the mundane, from ice cream to Churchill to Hurricane Katrina and everything in-between. In Scribble, Scribble, Scribble, Simon Schama opens up his--and our--wide world to us.

Review :
"[T]his robust, generous smorgasbord has pretty much something for every palate." - New York Times "Willfully miscellaneaous... addictively readable... [Schama] is clever, versatile, and extremely likable." - Financial Times "In these lively essays and reportage... Schama... turns his omnivorous erudition and warm prose to a vast array of topics. ... He approaches every subject with gusto and amusement and ... always has smart things to say." - Publishers Weekly "His eloquence is on magnificent display in this new book: a delightful collection of journalistic essays." - The Independent on Sunday "The most stimulating and surprising writing here is on cooking and eating... A diverting personal history." - The Telegraph This sparkling, effervescent collection bridges the gap between scholarly and popular writing... It is excellent holiday reading." - The Spectator "An enticing collection of pieces old and new, a bedside book of rich insights." - The Observer "It really is very good... Witty, learned, informative, and clarifying." - Evening Standard (London) "[C]ollections of essays don't come any better than this. All readers who like lively writing and good thinking, especially relating to art criticism and history, will enjoy this book." - Library Journal
