My Life: Volume I
Franklin Dressington-Maxwell, ed. Gemma Doyle
Nov 2008. 1276 pages.
These memoirs, recently uncovered by Dressington-Maxwell's grand-daughter Gemma Doyle, are thought to date to 1934, when the legendary eccentric locked himself in his Long Island estate and sought a divorce from his wife, Margaret. Doyle, an Egyptologist at Brown University, writes that "the memoirs, balanced as they are between my grandfather's memories of his aristocratic upbringing and his elaborate dream world, serve as equal parts social study and fantastical folk art."

Volume II, edited by Dr. Doyle, is forthcoming from Waindell College Press.
