Why read it?
1 author picked Bring on the Empty Horses as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As soon as I told my agent I wanted to write this book she told me I had to read David Niven’s autobiography, The Moon’s a Balloon, and she was absolutely right.
This book is the follow-up to the first (brilliant) autobiography, and this one spends less time on David’s personal life, and is more a recounting of Hollywood stories, as he lived them. Fascinating, shocking, and an absolute must for lovers of Old Hollywood!
From Lisa's list on for fans of Old Hollywood.
