Product Description
In 1952, a young Australian stepped off a ferry in Dover with dreams of being a famous portrait painter like his grandfather. He too could paint, but also play the piano, write songs, ride a bike with no hands and swim 110 metres backstroke in 80 seconds flat. If Rolf Harris seems to have been with us for ever, that's because he has. After nearly 50 years on stage and screen, he is one of the most loved, respected and enduring figures in British showbusiness. He was there at the very beginning of television in the UK and is still there. And although he calls himself "a lucky amateur", millions would disagree. We have grown up watching him draw cartoons, paint big pictures, wobble his board and talk to animals and their owners. Now, in his autobiography, Rolf Harris charts his rise from the dusty streets of Bassendean in Western Australia to becoming a household name on both sides of the world. Along the way there are triumphs and disasters, revelations and regrets. He has worked with the likes of Tony Hancock and Woody Allen, jousted with John Lennon and had the Beatles singing "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" with their own lyrics.Thirty years later he was voted the most popular act ever at Glastonbury and had 86,000 people screaming his name. Reborn as a rock singer and award-winning television presenter, Rolf Harris was labelled by one newspaper the "Ultimate Renaissance Man". In reality, he is proof positive that if you live long enough, real talent will give you more than one bite at the cherry. ... Read more

A Well Worth Read for Anyone
I picked this up at Heathrow Airport on impulse. It stayed by my bedside for 9 months unopened. I even began to wonder why on earth I had bought it. Then, one day I went to bed early but couldn't sleep so picked up the book hoping it would help. Chance would have it that once I started reading it I could hardly put the book down. It was one of the most frank and descriptive auto-biographies I have ever read about someone who seems to have been around (and about) forever. In comparison, the WWE's Stone Cold Steve Austin Autobiography was something I was longing to read but came away feeling 'short-changed'. But this one, not one little bit and I sincerely recommend it to anyone who likes autobiographies. Even if you don't know who Rolf Harris is, you will after reading the book. So, should you ever read this review Rolf, I just want to say "Thank you!" for sharing it all with us. ... Read more
