Bobette - The Ups & Downs of a Total (Male) Tart! - Prof Robin Anderson

The story of BOBETTE - definitely a love story with a difference! - spans nigh on six decades! It tarnishes even those brightest, legendary luminaries of the "silver screen" and the writer feels privileged at having been taken into BOBETTE'S confidence - though never his bed! - and asked to reveal all. The book contains a worldly run of events at times tear jerking or - on other occasions - madcap, camp and downright maddening. How did the writer meet this much loved, much "lived-in" and much maligned hero? It all begins by witnessing the falling of BOBETTE from atop a full-size, wooden Dodo bird. Follow BOBETTE's adventures from his early days in non-glamorous Gidding to the glamour of London, Los Angeles and finally, the exotic island of Sri Lanka where our intrepid hero blossoms into an entrepreneur-cum-impresario. Not even the destructive tsunami of 2004 can defect the determined BOBETTE from his final goals. The reader will meet the elegant RUPERT ETHERTON-SMYTHE, a key player and influence in BOBETTE's life, plus the likes of DAPHNE SLANT and RIP REDWOOD- to mention a few. A savoury of delights - some unsavoury -is guaranteed whilst a box of tissues would not go amiss!
