"Basil Rathbones book about himself...is better written than most books by or about actors and is more intellectually vigorous...Sherlock Holmes fans will be much interested in his remarks on the character with whom he has been so closely identified." -Library Journal "Quite naturally full of memories, full of names, full of glimpses of stars of stage and screen of yesterday and today." -New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
Long out of print and virtually impossible to find even in the rare book market, this autobiography recalls to life one of the most eminent actors of his time. Sherlock Holmes fans will be much interested in Basil Rathbones remarks on the character with whom he has been so closely identified., "Basil Rathbone's book about himself...is better written than most books by or about actors and is more intellectually vigorous...Sherlock Holmes fans will be much interested in his remarks on the character with whom he has been so closely identified." -Library Journal "Quite naturally full of memories, full of names, full of glimpses of stars of stage and screen of yesterday and today." -New York Times Book Review, Long out of print and virtually impossible to find even in the rare book market, this autobiography recalls to life one of the most eminent actors of his time. Romeo Katherine Cornells Juliet on stage, Karenina to Garbos Anna Karenina on film, Rathbone of course remains most indelibly the personification of Sherlock Holmes, a role he played in 16 films and over 200 radio broadcasts. His story, from his youth and early career touring the English provinces to his success on the London and Broadway stage and finally to the memorable Hollywood years, is rich and incident and warmed by a domestic life of uncommon devotion and respect. And it is story that reveals little known and surprising facts about his friends and colleages - both the famous and the infamous - such legendary figures as John Barrymore, Arthur Rubinstein, Irving Thalberg, Ronald Colman, Greta Garbo, Fritz Kreisler, and Marlee Dietrich, to name but a few. Like Sherlock Holmes, Basil Rathbone struggled for perfection in his craft. Like the artist and the man himself, his autobiograophy is graced with charm, sincerity, elegance, and rare perception.

    Recieved the book by Peter Egan in perfect condition; nicely packed as to prevent any shipping damage. Nice price for what appears to be a brand new book in appearance. Great communications by the seller, much appreciated. Any book written by Peter is a must-have for anyone interested in cars, motorcycles, flying or life in general. I highly recommend this seller, a 5 stars plus Ebay vendor in my book!!

    The book looks to be brand new, better than described! It was shipped quickly, and I'm glad to say it survived being packaged in only a mylar envelope. I would like to see better packaging, but what the hey, it arrived in one piece, so I'll be grateful for that. I would not hesitate to purchase from this Seller again. Thank you, halfpricebooksrecordsmag, for a perfect transaction!
