«Fry's Ties» is Stephen Fry's illustrated book of humour and memoirs, published by Penguin Books Ltd in hardback (320 pages, in English).
Stephen Fry goes through his collection of ties and shows how each one, with its pattern or colour, holds a personal memory. The book stems from his Instagram posts and brings together hand-drawn illustrations and photographs, along with anecdotes, curious facts and witty reflections on the place of the tie in fashion and in life.
The cover shows the subtitle 'The Life and Times of a Tie Collection' and a quote from P. G. Wodehouse.
For fans of Stephen Fry and readers interested in fashion, humour and personal memoirs.
