Thryke – The Man That Nobody Knew – Paperback Version – by Simon Gary

Description

The man. The bounder. The legend…In 1915, in the sleepy English village of Little-Sodbury-on-the-Wode, a star was born! For the first time, read all about the early life of actor Cornelius Arthur Thryke, in his own words – from his testing years growing up in boarding school, through his heroic African exploits in World War Two, to becoming the much-loved star of such British movie classics as M is for Microfilm and The Gentleman Burglars Strike Again. But, behind the success was a life characterized by secret and heartbreak. Best known for his role as cantankerous Arthur Chataway in the much-loved 1970s sitcom “Gone to the Dogs,” Thryke has been described by many as a “national treasure”, by others as a “curmudgeon of the highest order.” Now you can make up your own mind, from his private journal and a collection of letters curated and edited by unknown television historian Quentin Prowler.
