About This Item
Author's second book,but his first autobiographical one,his first book was a novel 'Twice Brightly'.
This hilarious collection of stories covers Harry Secombe's life from his childhood in Wales to his present successful career in showbusiness.They highlight his life in terms of nostalgic memories of childhood (the story of the Needle Match of cricket between Harry's team from St Leger Crescent and the neighbouring team from Grenfell Park Road,with the giant umpire called Muriel Evans); humorous observations of his early working years; the war (serving in Tunisia with Lance-Sergeant Milligan); the happiness of marriage; the struggles of early show business and the legendary 'Goon Shows' - not to mention the saga of the night when Milligan's overcoat involved him in an espionage network.
The charm of Harry's writings and character can best be discovered by reading these stories.
Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template, altering its prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its compensation rates too!
So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,because of the lighter weight of this item,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
