Mikhail Lyubimov - a Soviet intelligence officer, writer, and publicist, candidate of historical sciences. At the height of the Cold War, he was a staff member of the residency in London, attended social events, and was acquainted with many representatives of the British elite. In the 1980s, he retired, became a writer and publicist.
'Frolics with the Cheshire Cat' - memoirs of life in England, essays about the 'English soul'. The book is filled with the author's unique personal experience, as well as references to entire strata of British culture and literature from Shakespeare to Bernard Shaw. Mikhail Lyubimov's style simultaneously reminds one of the Soviet Sherlock Holmes and the British James Bond, and the constant internal dialogue with the author's companion - the Cheshire Cat - makes reading incredibly comfortable.
'I love England, but after a month in England, I already miss Russia. After a year in Russia, I want to catch a glimpse of my Albion' (Mikhail Lyubimov)
