Reviews

Praise for FRANKIE HOWERD by Graham McCann: 'Never has the sheer awkwardness of the human condition been so comically, or beautifully, conveyed.' - Daily Mail'As with his masterly account of Dad s Army, this is an objective and scrupulously researched study, unlikely to be superseded.' - Roger Lewis, Spectator'McCann's lively biography is rooted in those post-music-hall days, his portrait of the period is vivid.' - Alex Clark, Sunday Times
