A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"This book contains excellent contributions by comic writers. The gems are Peter Cook's" (Sunday Times)

"One thing nearly all of the friends invited to contribute to this book have in common: by God they can write- The authors are a ministry of all the talents; the book is most enjoyable" (Spectator)

"Peter Cook Remembered is a moving celebration of a good man who made us laugh. Apart from being very funny, it has the bonus that each sketch illuminates not only the man but his time. It is a beautiful book and Lin Cook's final poignant memoir of her husband is as good a love letter as you'll find anywhere" (Sunday Telegraph)
