Came upon this book accidentally . What a treat I was in for. So many memories of my teenage years in the fifties and faces and places of the sixties that I thought I had forgotten but were all bought back to life for me in this book . A lot of books written about these times seem to be hearsay but I know Mim 's accounts are the real deal because I was more or less living a parraled life but from the female side.

Teddy boys , the swinging sixties ,for anyone who wants to know what those times were really like I highly recommend this book.

Thanks for the memories Mim.

As I enjoyed this book so much I have just purchased Mim Scala 's LUCKIEST MAN IN THE WORLD . Looks iike an intriguing read !

For those of you unfortunates who did not live during the time of The Long Sixties described so eloquently in this memoir, all you need do is read it, and do not doubt that these magical things really did happen.

Mim Scala recounts his charmed life, it's inhabitants and experiences in a succinct manner, neither embellishing nor exaggerating.

Yes, Sex,Drugs and Rock n Roll go together; Scala uses a delicate and dare say, gentlemanly writing style that describes just enough of the hedonism without being garish or crude.

The uninitiated may doubt some of the more "far out", magical times he recalls so well, but believe me, if you have not delved into that realm, you have no alternative other than to know that it happened, and be sorry you missed it.

This book should be required reading for any student of history. It is that good.
