Goon For Lunch

London England: M. And J. Hobbs/Michael Jospeh, 1975. Hardback. Price clipped to D/J. This hilarious collection of stories covers Harry Secombe's life from his childhood in Wales to his present successful career in show business. They highlight his life in terms of nostaligic 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); humerous 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 Good 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.
