Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Dan Leno? In 1901 everyone in Britain knew who he was. They had seen him live on the music hall stage, listened to his jokes on the new gramophone and watched his funny antics in some of the earliest moving pictures. Even King Edward VII was a fan and the popular press dubbed Dan Leno 'The King's Jester'. But his path to fame was a hard one: he journeyed from being a child performer in the London and Liverpool slums to a chaotic career in hard-bitten northern variety theatres. Dan became the nation's favourite comedian, but as one of the first mass media stars he suffered from this continual exposure and died at the early age of forty three. Drawing on many previously unused sources, this is first, authoritative, biography of Dan Leno. Only Charlie Chaplin, often compared to Dan in style and appearance, was to occupy a similar position in the hearts of the British public. In telling the full story of Dan's life and career on the stage and screen, Barry Anthony brings to life the everyday life of Victorian Britain, as well as Dan's unique brand of humour and its resonance with later comedians such as Spike Milligan and the Monty Python team.

Book excerpt: Now a major motion picture A literary star returns with an addictive tale of murder in Victorian London. Peter Ackroyd is "our most exciting and original writer... one of the few English writers of his generation who will be read in a hundred years' time." -- The Sunday Times (London) Without a doubt, Peter Ackroyd's breakout book. It has all the erudition and literary brilliance we expect of Ackroyd, yet it is as vivid, scary, and spellbinding as the best of Edgar Allan Poe. The year is 1880, the setting London's poor and dangerous Limehouse district, home to immigrants and criminals. A series of brutal murders has occurred, and, as Ackroyd leads us down London's dark streets, the sense of time and place becomes overwhelmingly immediate and real. We experience the sights and sounds of the English music halls, smell the smells of London slums, hear the hooves of horses on the cobblestone streets, and attend the trial of Elizabeth Cree, a woman accused of poisoning her husband but who may be the one person who knows the truth about the murders. The wonderfully rhythmic shifting of focus from trial to back alleys, where we come upon George Gissing, author of New Grub Street, and even Karl Marx, gives the story a tremendous depth and resonance beyond its page-turning thriller plot. Peter Ackroyd has once again confirmed his place as one of the great writers of our time. Previously published as The Trial Of Elizabeth Cree.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dan Leno To what did Dan Leno owe his pre-eminence? Hard work? Yes! But plenty Of men have worked hard with poor result. A sense of humour? Naturally! But he shared that with many. A quaint presence? Partly! But other comedians have been better gifted by nature than he in that respect. It was Simply that marvellous gift which neither we who have it not, nor, I believe, he who has it, can thoroughly understand. Personality! He was Dan Leno, and in saying that, we say all. In following his career, it is interesting to note how this germ Of personality slowly but surely developed until it was inevitably recognised, and, being recognised, almost worshipped by the British public. This gift was all that Dan Leno had to thank Dame Fortune for. Indeed, the fickle lady seemed to view his advent with stem disfavour. At birth, and for many years alter-wards, She consistently frowned upon him, and if in later days she relented and smiled, it was only be cause the whole world smiled at him, and she could resist him no longer.
