   What happened to Channon's diaries?

   • Whether Channon simply dried up or the diaries for those years are lost is unclear. A large chunk of the later diaries covering the years 1954 and 1958 turned up at a car boot sale and were returned to the family in 1991, so more might be waiting to be found. The value of these diaries is the light they shed on a vanished era.

   When did the Channon diaries lapse?

   • Two more volumes will be published in due course, taking us up to 1958. There are large gaps in the timeline. After 1918, the diaries lapse and do not resume until 1923. There is another hiatus between early January 1929 and February 1934. Whether Channon simply dried up or the diaries for those years are lost is unclear.

   Who was Chris Channon and what did he do?

   • Born in Chicago in 1897, 'Chips' Channon settled in England after the Great War, married into the immensely wealthy Guinness family, and served as Conservative MP for Southend-on-Sea from 1935 until his death in 1958. His career was unremarkable. His diaries are quite the opposite.
