The Stanley Holloway Monologues edited by Michael Marshall

Here, for the first time, is a unique collection of Stanley Holloway's incomparable comic monologues. All the much-loved monologue characters such as Albert Ramsbottom ('with a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle'), Sam Small ('Sam, Sam, pick oop tha' musket'), Ann Boleyn ('with her head tucked underneath her arm'), and King 'Arold ('on his 'orse with his 'awk in his 'and') are gathered together, and the book is splendidly illustrated by cartoonist Bill Tidy.
