'For his many friends and fans, Peter Cook was quite simply the funniest man they'd ever met. Cook's unique gift for laughter and the way he changed the British sense of humour forever has been celebrated in several posthumous biographies, but until now there's been no book by Cook himself. This is it.
Despite the image he like to affect, Cook was a prolific writer who penned countless outrageous sketches, plus heaps of hilarious articles. Some of these pieces have never been published before and many have only every been seen or heard, rather than read.
This collection gathers together the treasures of Cook's comic career, from school and university via 'Beyond The Fringe', alongside Alan Bennett, Johnathan Miller and Dudley Moore, to his surreal, satirical journalism for 'Private Eye'. Illustrated with his own drawings, 'Tragically I Was An Only Twin' is the definitive collection of the wit, humour and genius of Peter Cook.'

Passed onto me by a colleague at work - avail for RABCK, Trade, whatever.

Passed onto one of our cleaning staff at work as she gave me a load of books for BXing. She can't resist an autobiography or just a plain old biography so snapped this one right up.
