Don't Type In Bed: Life with a Roving Journalist by Peggy Warner is a lively and insightful memoir chronicling the early years of her marriage to Denis Warner, a prominent Australian foreign correspondent. Set in the post-war period, the book offers vivid accounts of their life together in Occupied Japan, colonial Singapore, and briefly in Boston, Massachusetts.
