With his lightning-quick wit unbridled creativity & his ear for the absurd Milligan revolutionised British comedy leaving a legacy of influence that stretches from Monty Pythons Flying Circus" to the work of self-confessed acolytes such as Eddie Izzard & Stephen Fry today. Throughout his life Milligan wrote prolifically
- scripts poetry fiction as well as several volumes of memoir in which he took an entirely idiosyncratic approach to the truth. In this ground-breaking work Norma Farnes his long-time manager companion counsellor & confidante gathers together the loose threads reads between the lines & draws on the full breadth of his writing to present his life in his own words: an autobiography
- of sorts. From his childhood in India through his early career as a jazz musician & sketch-show entertainer his spells in North Africa & Italy with the Royal Artillery to that fateful first broadcast of " The Goon Show" & beyond into the annals of comedy history this is the autobiography Milligan never wrote."
