"Appallingly funny" --Daily Telegraph

"I do more than invite you to read Stephen Fry. I urge you to. Fry is by turns observer, humourist, reviewer, philosopher, parodist, autobiographer, academic, scourge, clown and, as often as not, an antic amalgam of all these and more, and his variant style conforms flawlessly with each selected role." - Alan Coren

"Huge, crammed, wise, hilarious and utterly captivating." - Literary Review

"A joyous collaboration of winging humour and sarcasm." - Mail on Sunday

"Naughty but terribly nice." - Julie Burchill, Sunday Times

As an actor and writer Stephen Fry has bestridden the world for a quarter of a century, sowing discord, agitation and dismay. His power grows daily and his disciples are many. However, it is written that at the Time of Leavening, a Chosen One will arise to destroy him. Until that time, Mr Fry will continue to direct, broadcast, act and write in North London and Norfolk, where his best friends are the flowers.
