This is the long awaited autobiography of one of Britain's most internationally successful stars, Michael Crawford. By turns funny, charming & sad, here is his vivid account of a war torn childhood -of a loving mother, a violent stepfather & the painful truth about his absent father. His early memories include being taught to sing by Benjamin Brittan, hilarious anecdotes involving his budding love of girls, & the beginning of a lifetime's habit of hilarious pratfalls that he would later turn to good use in the character of Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do ' Ave Em. His early years in showbusiness led to friendships with David Hemmings, John Lennon & Oliver Reed
- as well as the chance to take the mickey out of Michael Winner on set!
- & then, as his career began to reach the heights there are stories of Michael making a fool of himself in front of idols Gene Kelly & Barbra Streisand while filming Hello Dolly! in Hollywood. Starring in Barnum & The Phantom of the Opera he became one of the world's biggest stars, but his behind the scenes anecdotes both professional & personal show the honest & self-deprecating quality that have given him a unique place in the affections of the British public.

By turns hilarious, revelatory & desperately sad, here is the autobiography of the man whose successes such as Hello Dolly!, Some Mothers Do ` Ave ' Em & The Phantom of the Opera have made him a national institution. The story of the true identity of his father, which is behind this book's title, leads into an evocative depiction of his tender childhood years. Whilst all the men were away at war, he was surrounded by loving women. For him this was an idyllic wartime childhood, but the return of the men in peacetime signalled darker times to come. Crawford's infectious enjoyment of stage work illumines his account of his early struggles to make a name for himself in the business, & his early failures with girls are lifted by his abiding sense of the absurd. Both in his private life & his work he begins a lifetime's habit of pratfalls that he would later turn to good use in the character of Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do ` Ave ' Em. His talent for mimicry makes the great personalities in his life come alive on the page; people he has worked with, including Benjamin Britten who taught him to sing, John Lennon
- with whom he shared a villa
- & Oliver Reed, Michael Winner, Barbra Steis&, Gene Kelly & Frank Sinatra.
