An updated edition of her original gossipy Picnic Papers, which she edited as Anne Tennant with her great friend Susanna Johnston (and published in 1983). The list of contributors to this literary cornucopia is as long as a summer afternoon – and all are her friends: Arabella Boxer, Princess Margaret, Harold Acton, Milton Gendel, Rupert Everett, Derek Hill, Min Hogg, Jools Holland, Drue Heinz, and many others reminisce about picnics, people, places, food and often a huge amount of drink.
