HUGO VICKERS Biographer & Historian
Recommended in US Vogue
- December 2007


'This extraordinary memoir … knowledgeably edited by Hugo Vickers … Written without a glimmer of humour, wonderfully lacking in introspection, Horses & Husbands is nonetheless fascinating'

– Selina Hastings – The Spectator
6 October 2007




'expertly edited by Hugo Vickers, who allows her to tell her story with no malice or boasting and with a degree of honesty missing from many memoirs'

– John Graham – The Tatler
November 2007




'I’ve enjoyed Horses & Husbands: The Memoirs of Etti Plesch, edited by Hugo Vickers … This spoilt, calculating minx must have been pretty intolerable to know: and not Max Beerbohm, not Craig Brown, could contrive a parody of her more glorious and hilarious than the one she creates of herself … there are so many unconsciously priceless fragments, way beyond parody … I think Countess Etti should have written a book called Etti-quette'
