Down a Path of Wonder

Robert Craft (1923-2015) is best known for his close association with Stravinsky and friendship with Schoenberg, but he also came into contact with many of Stravinsky's friends and collaborators, including George Balanchine, WH Auden and Aldous Huxley. Craft's memoirs of these figures form the core of this volume, which brings together 44 of his essays on music and literature, complemented by three colourful travel diaries focusing on Cambodia, Italy and Seville.
