An autobiography of the 1960s fashion model, Jean Shrimpton. She recounts her childhood, her discovery at 17 by David Bailey, her relationships with Bailey and then the actor Terence Stamp, her time in America, and her subsequent happiness in running a Cornish hotel with her husband and son.

In her autobiography, Jean Shrimpton tells of meeting David Bailey on the set of a photo shoot, and in the four years they were together, “The Shrimp” became the highest-paid model of her time. Shrimpton later credited Bailey with shaping her career and the pouty, coltish look of London's swinging “youthquake.” She was as stylish in her real life as in the many editorials she shot for magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
