A Postillion Struck By Lightning - Dirk Bogarde

The first volume of Dirk Bogarde's autobiography.

$6.00

Dirk Bogarde’s first volume of autobiography, published originally in 1977, traces the first steps of a young actor who went on to achieve worldwide acclaim. It details not only his early stage experiences, but also some evocative scenes from his childhood in Sussex, where his family lived in a cottage in the South Downs. Later came a technical college in Glasgow, an apprenticeship in printing, an art education at Chelsea, and finally a scholarship to the Old Vic – just as war broke out.

This author has been reviewed on the Suz’s Space Blog.

This softcover volume was published by Triad/Granada in 1981. It has a reading crease along the spine and small amounts of bumping.
