About this title: The details of Barry Humphries's life are still amongst the best-kept secrets of our time. Recent works have shed little light on this most private and circumspect of artistes; moreover, he has deliberately furnished his biographers with half-truths and fiction. So here is Barry Humphries's own account of his life up to the present. With an embarrassing candour, he tells of his schooldays, his Australian adolescence, his indiscretions, his renunciations and his appetites.
