Book Description
After coming to prominence working alongside Joan Littlewood, Stepney-born Lionel Bart became a millionaire through hits such as ‘Living Doll’ and the musical Oliver!, but by the 1970s he was bankrupt, having sold the rights to his most successful work. This biography draws on interviews with friends, family, counsellors and performers, revealing a complex, troubled, but brilliant songwriter’s private life. Slightly off-mint.
