Media Reviews
'Remarkable ... positively miraculous... apart from the rather greedy wish for more of everything, it is difficult to see how this book could be improved upon.'
Author Bio
John McCabe is an established writer on theatre and cinema in America and a personal friend of Stan Laurel's widow, Ida. He remains eternally grateful to his lifelong friend, John Carroll, who dragged him, as a doubting child, to see his first Laurel and Hardy film.
