What drove this extraordinary man? What was the truth behind his strange relationship with money?

How did this feather-duster salesman from Liverpool become one of the greatest, though least-lauded, comic geniuses of his generation?Affectionate, enlightening and entertaining, this biography is a fitting tribute to a remarkable man.
