What They're Saying
Critics Review
I recommend it heavily. It s a wonderful book - Melvyn Bragg
Parky s book is a joyous, breezy read, as much for the improbability of his early escapades as for his backstage anecdotes about the stars. It is also beautifully written - Daily TelegraphThe early chapters about his childhood and early career … are disarmingly modest and offer a proper glimpse into another world - Independent This autobiography is just like an extended edition of a brilliant Parkinson on television engrossing and entertaining - Irish TimesCrisp and detailed prose … with an especially impressive account of a pre-second world war childhood in the north - Mark Lawson, GuardianFunny and self-deprecating and just as laid-back as he is on camera - Boyd Tonkin, IndependentAbout The Author
