This book, thanks to Ken's wife, Lady Dodd, gives the first ever
in-depth account of his astonishing story, and unravels 'the other
Ken Dodd' - the fascinating, kind and complicated private man with
whom she spent her life. Sir Ken Dodd was a national institution.
He worked tirelessly as one Britain's most popular comedians for a
staggering seven decades. His five hour stage shows were legendary,
and he was still performing these hilarious theatrical marathons
right up to the age of ninety. Ken was the comedian's comedian.
Fellow pros idolised him and looked up to him as the guv'nor. He
was also a talented ballad singer, and enjoyed a hugely successful
chart-topping career in the 1960s. In fact his was the only name,
apart from The Beatles, to appear in the top five best-selling
singles of that iconic pop music decade. Despite his nationwide
fame and his crazy, larger-than-life stage persona, he was actually
a very private person, away from the limelight. A quiet, well-read,
deeply religious thinker. He consciously separated 'the two Ken
Dodds', as he referred to them, and always declined to cooperate
with biographers, in order to keep the private Ken Dodd just that -
private. If you liked Ken Dodd you will love this book. It will
undoubtedly surprise and delight you.
