Description: "Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquis of Anglesey (1875-1905) was born to inherit the Empire. Instead, he burned brightly, briefly and transvestitely through his family's vast wealth; putting on fabulous plays starring himself, charging round Europe dressed as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine or sometimes a butterfly, in a car with rose-scented exhaust fumes. When he died, his vengeful heirs burned every trace of his existence they could find, and carried on as though he'd never been. Ouch."--Page 4 of cover.
