Description
Spike Milligan's autobiography - in his own words. This unique collection gathers together the loose threads of his life, as told by his long-time manager and companion, Norma Farnes. With her guidance, Milligan shares his most intimate reflections on life, drawing on a wide range of his writing to present an idiosyncratic account of his experiences. From his childhood in India to his spells with the Royal Artillery during WWII, and from his early career as a jazz musician to his legendary work on The Goon Show, Milligan's story is one of unbridled creativity and humour. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the greatest comedians of the 20th century. With its unique blend of autobiography and memoir, this book provides a fresh perspective on the life and career of Spike Milligan.
