LAUREL & HARDY The British Tours
What they said: I am delighted to
have a copy of your
wonderful
book. It is an absolute joy to read. A.J. Marriot has
given the fans of Stan
Laurel
and Oliver Hardy an exceptionally skilful, accomplished and memorable
book, and I applaud him. The book is superb -
a veritable
treasure-trove
of fascinating insights and anecdotes. To say that
I am delighted with this book is an
understatement. It is a pleasure to read and Mr. Marriot has captured
the charm of Laurel and Hardy throughout. You have done what I
did not think possible,
you
have enhanced and increased my love for Laurel and Hardy - and for that
you have my thanks. This book is a must
for theatregoers weaned
on
the music halls, as they will revel in .. it
certainly is required reading, not only
by Laurel and Hardy fans, but anyone ..... a fascinating
read ... The author's
research is staggering, but
from
it Laurel and Hardy emerge as kind, sensitive men, All fans of
Laurel and Hardy will relish this
meticulous, wonderfully researched book ... Mr Marriot has
produced an awesomely
researched
book which is absolutely unmissable The book manages to
paint portraits of the
two
men that showed they could be human, upset or occasionally cranky, yet
their basic kind humanity showing through. I think you get more of
a
sense of them as people than from any other of the Laurel and Hardy
books. It made me
laugh and made me cry. How strange
to have such strong feelings about two people I never met, but then
your book brought them alive. What more could one wish for? Unlike most recent
books, your book
documents
much that was not known by Sons. It's truly outstanding. Words fail me in
adequately expressing my
heartfelt
appreciation to you for writing this I read your
book in one go, and felt I was actually
there. I don't
think I have ever enjoyed a book so much
as Laurel and Hardy - The British Tours. -----0----- |
