One of Hollywood's most charming and beloved figures, David Niven, presents his life story with the same wit, warmth, and disarming candour that made him a legend both on and off the silver screen. The Moon's a Balloon chronicles Niven's remarkable journey from a mischievous Scottish schoolboy and wayward soldier to one of Hollywood's most enduring leading men, painting a vivid and often hilarious portrait of a life lived to the absolute fullest. Populated with unforgettable anecdotes involving the greatest stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood — from Errol Flynn to Marlene Dietrich — the memoir is as forthright and bawdy as it is genuinely moving. Niven's prose style is effortlessly elegant yet bracingly honest, striking a tone that is simultaneously self-deprecating and deeply perceptive about the surreal machinery of fame and the film industry. Hailed by the *Sunday Express* as the funniest volume of reminiscences for ages, this worldwide bestseller stands as one of the finest celebrity memoirs ever written, a testament to a man who understood that life, much like the moon, is best appreciated from a distance — with a drink in hand and a story ready to tell.
