    With his lightning-quick wit unbridled creativity and his ear for the absurd Milligan revolutionised British comedy leaving a legacy of influence that stretches from "Monty Python's Flying Circus" to the work of self-confessed acolytes such as Eddie Izzard and Stephen Fry today. Throughout his life Milligan wrote prolifically - scripts poetry fiction as well as several volumes of memoir in which he took an entirely idiosyncratic approach to the truth. In this ground-breaking work Norma Farnes his long-time manager companion counsellor and confidante gathers together the loose threads reads between the lines and draws on the full breadth of his writing to present his life in his own words: an autobiography - of sorts. From his childhood in India through his early career as a jazz musician and sketch-show entertainer his spells in North Africa and Italy with the Royal Artillery to that fateful first broadcast of "The Goon Show" and beyond into the annals of comedy history this is the autobiography Milligan never wrote.
