Paul Driver writes:

No Stravinsky biographer could find favour with the conductor and writer Robert Craft. Himself the most eligible candidate – given his unprecedented access – and, for the same reason, the least, he is condemned to permanent exasperation with the very idea of a definitive Life. He has consistently skirted such a project, and this new collection of essays is the latest of his compelling documentations. These often have an immediacy not possible for a more detached author. Down a Path of Wonder is a work of great fascination: Craft’s authority as a portrayer of Stravinsky is unique.
