Round Mr.Horne - Softcover
'Johnson bring the golden age of the wireless nostalgically alive _ a rounded portrait that hints at the complexities underneath Horne's genial façade'
Hugh Massingberd, Daily Telegraph
One of Britain's greatest comedians, Kenneth Horne lived a double life: distinguished businessman by day, at evenings and weekends star and creator of classic radio series including Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh, Beyond Our Ken and, of course, the immortal Round the Horne, featuring such unforgettable characters as J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock, Dame Celia Volestrangler and camp dup Julian and Sandy.
This enormously readable biography, written with the full co-operation of Horne's family and fellow performers, vividly evokes the golden age of British radio comedy.
