Product Description

Product Description
Here, for the first time, is complete collection of actor and entertainer Stanley Holloway’s incomparable comic monologues, which he performed between 1929 and 1941. All the much-loved characters such as Albert Ramsbottom (‘with a stick with an ‘orse’s ‘ead ‘andle’), Sam Small (‘Sam, Sam, pick oop tha’ arm), and King ‘Arold (‘on his ‘orse with his ‘awk in his ‘and’) are gathered together and brilliantly illustrated by cartoonist Bill Tidy.

About the Author
Sir Robert Michael Marshall, usually known as just Michael Marshall, was born in Sheffiled in 1930. He was a business man, politican, cricketer and author. His work includes a biography of Jack Buchanan (The Timetable of Technology), Gentlemen and Players and The Book of Comic and Dramatic Monologues. He died in Chichester in 1998.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent material for reading out loud and very funny., 6 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The monologues are grouped by 'hero'. I found them very funny and my children loved me reading it aloud to them. They have a lovely flow and rhythm. They are of a time that is now gone, but they do have a genuine 'englishness' that still makes people laugh. They are also very clever.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE STANLEY HOLLOWAY MONOLOGUES
Great fun. We enjoyed reading the monologues and have purchased The Essential Stanley Holloway on CD so that we can get the accents right. Lots of opportunities with the 2 CD's.
