| Publisher Description: This book is essentially a hybrid. As a memoir it is written in the third person, Eddie and his alter ego the snake. Born into a war-ravaged London, he is forced into a premature career as an actor to augment the family finances. As a series of short stories it documents the range of unusual activities experienced by him as he grows up working in the theatre, films, TV. and radio of the era. As a documentary it charts the landscape and extreme characters of a class-ridden and prejudiced England, now almost unrecognisable. As a reference book it contains detailed stories of a kind unobtainable on Google for TV or film dramatists. |
