Famous Last Words is a sometimes funny, sometimes moving compilation of the parting phrases of the famous and infamous. With his customary eye for the bizzare and the curious, Jonathon Green provides an incomparable record of our final thoughts. He cleverly highlights the common fears faced at death and the need for the great and the good to leave their mark. Kings, queens, doctors, philosophers, pop stars, movie icons and writers all greet the end in their own inimitable style.
