1 y separately published work icon Anything But Ordinary : The Nine Lives of Cecile Cecile Dorward , Ron Davidson , Fremantle : Fremantle Press , 2000 Z841975 2000 single work autobiography 'The extraordinary life of an extraordinary woman. Born into a flamboyant family in 1911, the young Cecile married a middle-aged Professor of Philosophy, mixing with intellectual superstars of the day such as Russell, Moore, Huxley and Haldane. At fifty-eight she began touring the world solo in a campervan; becoming known as the 'World's oldest hippy', she travelled until she was eighty-four. Here, Cecile not only recreates the remarkable details of her life, but provides real insight into her times and her own social, psychological and sexual journey through those times.' (Publisher's blurb)
