In 1999, David Bret published the first full-length biography of the Lancashire entertainer known simply as Our George, a man whose personal life could not have been further from his happy-go-lucky persona.
In this much-revised edition of the book which topped the UK best-sellers, Bret draws on exclusive interviews with those who knew him, incorporating a wealth of formerly unobtainable material to tell the real story of the troubled genius whose every move was monitored and directed by his domineering wife, Beryl, a fearsome entrepreneur without whose Svengali ppresence Formby would have never made it to the top.
In this sincere biography, Bret discusses the secret love affairs of both George and Beryl, their stance against apartheid which saw them ejected from South Africa, the collapse of their marriage, and the squabble over their fortune by rapacious relatives.
Bret also examines the Formbys' courage and dedication to charity work, particularly during World War II.
With a detailed analysis of Formby's films, stage plays and recording work, this book reveals the complex, frequently difficult man who was and remains one of Britain's best-loved entertainers.
