The hilarious and riveting autobiography from the late, great Sir Peter Ustinov

'Very amusing' Daily Mirror

Beloved wit and raconteur, star of stage and screen, multitalented writer, director and humanitarian - few stars of the twentieth century were as highly regarded as Sir Peter Ustinov.

From his birth in April 1921, this highly acclaimed autobiography spans Ustinov's extraordinary career as the star of Spartacus, Quo Vadis, Death on the Nile and many other classics. Eccentric relatives, school masters and manic Hollywood moguls are all brought unforgettably to life alongside encounters with the great and the good, from Sir Laurence Olivier to J. B. Priestley.

This warm and revealing book gives an enthralling portrait of a man whose unique gift of laughter made him one of the most popular and respected entertainers in the world.
