Discover the tales behind the ties in Stephen Fry’s witty companion to our most distinguished accessory. ‘A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life’ Oscar Wilde. ‘What do ties matter, Jeeves, at a time like this?’ ‘There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter’ P.G. Wodehouse. Every single one of Stephen Fry’s ties – whether floral, fluorescent, football themed; striped or spotty, outrageous or simply debonair – tells an intimate tale about a moment in Stephen’s life. Inspired by Stephen’s hugely popular Instagram posts, this book will feature beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations and photographs to celebrate his expansive collection of man’s greatest clothing companion: The Tie, in all its sophisticated glory. Distinctively funny and offering witty asides, facts and personal stories, this book will make the perfect gift for anyone who has ever worn a tie.
