Itï ½s been a long journey for Maurice Micklewhite ï ½ born with rickets in Londonï ½s poverty-stricken Elephant & Castle ï ½ to the bright lights of Hollywood. With a glittering career spanning more that five decades & staring roles that have earned him two Oscars, a knighthood, & an iconic place in the Hollywood pantheon, the man now known to us as Michael Caine looks back over it all. Funny, warm & honest, Caine give us his insiderï ½s view of Hollywood (where thereï ½s neither holly nor woods). He recalls the films, the legendary stars, & the off-screen moments with a gift for story-telling only equalled by David Niven. Hollywood has been his home & his playground. But England is where his heart lies, & where he blames the French for the abundance of snails in his garden. A plaque now celebrates him at the Elephant in London & his handprint is one of only 200 since 1927 to decorate the hallowed pavement outside that mecca of Hollywood stars, Graumanï ½s Chinese Theatre. A very British star, The Elephant to Hollywood is the remarkable full circle of Michael Caineï ½s life. ...

The life of Michael Morpurgo, as a biography, & autobiographical stories. Michael Morpurgo is a national treasure. With books such as ' Private Peaceful', ' Kensuke's Kingdom' & ' The Wreck of the Zanzibar' he has enchanted a whole generation of children, weaving stories for them in a way that is neither contrived nor condescending. His is a rare gift. In 2007, Michael's novel ' War Horse' was adapted for the stage by the National Theatre. Five years on, it continues to play to packed audiences of all ages & has been turned into a blockbuster film by Steven Spielberg, propelling Morpurgo to household-name status. Michael's own story is as strange & surprising as any he has written, & is shot through with the same thread of sadness found in almost all his work. How did this supremely unbookish boy who dreamed of becoming an army officer become a bestselling author & Children's Laureate instead? What personal price has he paid for success? & why, amidst his triumphs, is he now haunted by regret? In a unique collaboration, Maggie Fergusson explores Michael Morpurgo's life through seven biographical chapters, to which he responds with seven stories. The portrait that emerges is one of light & shade: the light very bright, the shade complex & often painful. ...
