As one would expect, this is a gentle book, written by a gentle man. It is also a very British book, in that it is almost too modest. Could I honestly say that I know any more about Peter Sallis now than I did 236 pages ago?
Mr. Sallis was born in 1921 and, just occasionally, his opinion shows age (he feels that he was lucky to live through the best period in the history of music whereas, I know that he is wrong, because I did!) The wierdest part of the book is, undoubtedly, the final paragraph: 'Well, goodbye now. Thank you for having me. See ya, Compo.'… (altro)
