From the library of Spydeee Gasmantell, with his signature on prelims. At this time, I had no idea who Cocteau was - I am sure I ordered that book on the strength of the title alone. Turns out to be a good choice as I was introduced to a wonderful artist. Cocteau describes his experiences while taking opium, providing what he called his "perfect hours". Contains drawing by him and
reminiscences of friends such as Nijinsky and Proust.
