Description: London, Bloomsbury. 1987, First Edition. (ISBN: 0747500320). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 202 pages. Illustrations in the text. In this enchanting memoir, Terence Stamp looks back with affection and humour to an East End childhood that began with bombs over Bow Cemetery and embraced him as the first of a new generation of two Cockney clans. With father away at sea, Terence had no male rivals for a grandmother's and mother's love and that, he thought, was as it should be. His mother's unswerving conviction that he was special instilled in him a belief that his life would be different. His vivid memories take us back to the annual hop-picking holidays in Kent, through the rigours of battling for a place in a grammar school, into the mysteries of sexual initiation in the laundry room of a convalescent home under the expert and energetic guidance of Nurse Grace. We watch the future film star 'urge' on his height, sport Dayton roll-collar shirts as worn by Dean Martin and supplement his income as a newspaper delivery boy. B2D. Fine/Near Fine.
