Dorothy and her nephew had a special connection. When he found a way of escaping the drudgery of the English Midlands, Auntie Dorothy, being the loving, caring and devoted Auntie that she is, tagged along to take care of him, while he learned to dance, make dresses and fall in love. Many times.

As told by Dorothy to Mr Wilson in a series of in-depth interviews, 'Travels With My Nephew' charts a story of life, love and laughter avoiding arrest by the New York Police Department, quelling mutiny...

It is a truth rarely acknowledged that a middle-aged English man, disinterested and diminished by life on the small island, could do worse than run away and marry an Amsterdam drag queen. There is, of course, much more to the story.

A memoir of kept promises, marriage, identity, thwarted ambition, euthanasia, grief and always show tunes in the face of adversity.

‘A memoir to die for.’

Dorothy DeMoore
