Synopsis

Britain's best loved entertainer tells more of his rollicking adventures. Following on from the enormous success of At My Mother's Knee, Paul O'Grady here continues his extraordinary life story. Aged 18, the young Paul has already been a cat burglar and a boxer, a mischievous altar boy and a civil servant, he's fathered a baby and lost his own dad, he's discovered Liverpool's burgeoning club scene as well as what goes on down at the Docks. Having crammed so much into his early life, surely there couldn't be much still left to do? Rest ured, there's never a dull moment in this riotous account of "What Paul Did Next." Today Liverpool; tomorrow—the World!

About this title

Review

"If you only buy one celeb memoir this year, make it this one." (News of the World)

"Far and away the best writer of the lot ... his turn of phrase is a joy." (The Sunday Times)

"Even funnier and more touching than the million-selling first volume. I defy anyone not to enjoy this book." (Jilly Cooper Daily Telegraph)

"O'Grady has subversively used his celebrity clout to write a real autobiography, quite simply - detailed, fluent and engaging, quite remarkably showing sustained and sympathetic interest in all the people he knew ... strikingly original, a rewarding read whether or not you're a big O'Grady fan already." (David Sexton London Evening Standard)

"...he writes so well, and takes you so skilfully into disparate Merseyside and London subcultures." (John Dugdale Guardian)
