I Fear for This Boy: Some Chapters of Accidents
Description
"I ripped through I Fear For This Boy like a train, snorting with laughter and delight as I rattled along, pulled by the power of Fennell's unique story-telling genius…. I can't recommend the ride highly enough." - Stephen Fry
Theo Fennell's picaresque journey from the depths of financial despair to the glittering celebrity world of the rich and famous is a comic classic comparable to Three Men in a Boat or Bill Bryson's The Thunderbolt Kid. Despite the occasional success, disasters and failures dominate his business life. Nonetheless his jewellery has brought pleasure to thousands and this book will bring pleasure to millions.
Praise for I Fear for This Boy: Some Chapters of Accidents
“There's no one quite like Theo Fennell. Relive the high spots of a life crowded, as Lady Bracknell would say, with incident. Our hero Theo, while without fail making an improbable and preposterous arse of himself in every direction, always manages somehow to emerge from each adventure ruefully triumphant. I ripped through I Fear For This Boy like a train, snorting with laughter and delight as I rattled along, pulled by the power of Fennell's unique story-telling genius…. I can't recommend the ride highly enough.” —Stephen Fry
“As funny as one of my books. I almost couldn't put it down. Theo's book is as funny as Theo – a rare achievement.” —Barry Humphries
"One of the funniest books I have ever read. Utterly beguiling and superbly well-written." - William Boyd
