Table of ContentsReviewsPRAISE FOR MICHAEL PARKISON: A quietly impressive book, which does something most celebrity autobiographies shy away from: it seeks the truth and, more often than not, finds it * Mail, on Like Father, Like Son * A joyous, breezy read . . . It is also beautifully written * Daily Telegraph on Parky * Funny and self-deprecating and just as laid-back as he is on camera * Independent on Parky * Engrossing and entertaining * Irish Time on Parky * Author InformationBorn in Yorkshire, Michael Parkinson left school at sixteen with the ambition to play cricket for Yorkshire and England and to write about cricket for the Manchester Guardian. Although he didn't manage to fulfil the first half of his ambition, he has since become one of the most successful journalists of his generation. He wrote a sports column for The Sunday Times for fifteen years and has also written for the Telegraph. He is a legendary TV and radio presenter - his long-running chat show Parkinson was hugely popular for many years. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
