Emlyn - A Sequel to George

Published 1984. Good secondhand condition with signs of wear and fading to the spine of jacket. Inscription inside.

Long established as an actor-dramatist through his plays, Emlyn Williams was also a prose writer. This is his second autobiographical book, following on from the best-selling George. This book covers a period of eight years from the age of twenty-one. The story runs on three intermingling levels: the daunting professional switchback - involving unconventional encounters with such people as Charles Laughton, John Gielgud, Sybil Thorndike, Mrs Patrick Campbell, Edgar Wallace, Edith Evans, Epstein - the author's sexual perplexities, and as a solid background to both, three major figures from his earlier book; his parents and Miss Cole, the schoolmistress on whom he was to base Miss Moffat in The Corn is Green.
