More Sketches of Evan, Viscount Tredegar
'Lord of the Lies'
As seen by friends, foes and lovers
In this second selection of offerings from Lord Tredegar’s biographer William Cross, he attempts to reach a better understanding of the truth about Evan Frederic Morgan (1893-1949), eccentric Welsh aristocrat, notorious homosexual, congenital liar & fantasist, the last Viscount Tredegar, of Tredegar House, Newport, South Wales. Evan is recalled to life by those who knew him, friends, foes & lovers. The contributors are Evan’s crowd, some habitués at Tredegar House during Evan’s chaotic tenure. Story tellers include John, Duke of Bedford, Evan’s half cousin Lord Carnegie, brothers Aldous and Julian Huxley one a literary genius, the other a scientist and Director of London Zoo, where Evan’s disturbing menagerie of animals were often housed. The Irish writers Seymour Leslie and L A G Strong, the peeress Rafaelle, Duchess of Leinster, the American Charles Austin Sherman and the Frenchman, Phillipe Jullian illustrator and dandy add their own special recollections of Evan and there are further memories from Cecil Roberts and Robin Bryans.
