Parcel Arrived Safely Tied With String
By turns hilarious revelatory and desperately sad here is the autobiography of the man whose TV and stage appearances such as Hello Dolly! Some Mothers Do Ave Em and The Phantom of the Opera have made him a national institution. The story of the true identity of his father which is behind this books title leads into an evocative depiction of his tender childhood years. Whilst all the men were away at war Crawford 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. Crawfords infectious enjoyment of stage work illumines his account of his early struggles to make a name for himself in the theatre business and his early failures with girls are lifted by his abiding sense of the absurd. Both in his
private life and his work as a successful actor and TV comedian he begins a lifetimes habit of pratfalls that he would later turn to good use in the character of Frank Spencer in smash hit 1970s TV comedy show Some Mothers DoAve 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 - and Oliver Reed Michael Winner Barbra Steisand Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.
