Hitherto, Count Charles Korsetz has never written anything except cheques; but here is his own entrancing account of the great days at Korsetz Castle, and of the parties and partis of a vanished Europe where he moved with aplomb in a world of fantastic wealth and extraordinary breeding.’

Cecil Beaton's spoof memoir of an Eastern-European aristocrat, written in a similar vein to My Royal Past. The Count’s narrative tells of the merry-go-round of European society and travel, broken up by the two World Wars. Anecdotes are populated by a thinly disguised cast of social extras, such as Mr W. Somerset W. Morn and Lady Coalfax. The text is complemented by spoof photographs. The American gossip columnist and author, Elsa Maxwell gamely plays the part of the Count, masquerading in a series of wigs and bald-caps. Other parts are modelled by Mae Murray, Sandra Douglas-Home, Charmain Montagu Douglas Scott, Perlita Neilson and Martita Hunt.  The cover of the dust jacket features a portrait by ‘the fashionable painter Beatknik’

Perfect & light weight divider
Color: Charcoal Gray, Size: 8 Panel
I really like this divider. I have it in my bedroom which is also where my "work from home office" is. The divider blocks my bedroom and dresser perfectly. It's very light weight and very easy to move.

Room Divider
Color: Beige, Size: 8 Panel
I received my 8 panel folding divider and realized that I probably should have just ordered the 6 panel one. But it is nice and sturdy and was already put together. I am very pleased with the product.

Game-Changer for My Space!
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
I recently purchased the Kecreque 4-Panel Room Divider, and it has completely transformed my living area. At 88" wide, it provides ample coverage, creating a private nook in my open-concept home. The white polyester fabric is not only sleek and modern but also wrinkle-resistant and easy to clean—just a quick wipe with a damp cloth, and it looks brand new. Assembly was a breeze; I had it set up in about 20 minutes. The metal frame feels sturdy and durable, and the three extra-wide metal feet offer excellent stability, ensuring it doesn't tip over easily. I love how the panels are connected with flexible buckles, allowing me to adjust the configuration to suit my needs—be it a straight line or an angled setup. This divider has been perfect for creating a dressing area in my bedroom, and I've also used it to section off a workspace in my living room. Its versatility is unmatched, and it folds down compactly when not in use, making storage hassle-free. If you're looking for a stylish, functional, and easy-to-use room divider, I highly recommend this one. It's been a fantastic addition to my home!

Sturdy and Functional
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
I got this to replace a poor quality divider that I tried first, and this thing is the best! It is easily folded, stands sturdily, easy to assemble, and the fabric looks great. Very very happy with the quality for the price.

Arrived damaged
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel Basic
Unfortunately, very cheaply made. It arrived with one of the connecting tubes cracked horizontally. Possibly due to bad welding. It is quite a headache to assemble. It was delivered on time but returned for a refund.
