IT’S KIND OF A CUTE STORYRolly Crump as told to Jeff Heimbuch2012
Bamboo Forest Publishing
Disney Legend Rolly Crump has released an excellent autobiography called It’s Kind of a Cute Story. Imagine if you will, that you are invited over to his house along with Jeff Heimbuch and they begin to tell you wonderful stories of life at WED, the struggles between the creative people who worked at the place, and showed off rare and exotic artwork. If this sounds inviting then you should pick up this book.
In Crump’s book, he pretty much tells it like it is. His frustrations with WED boss Dick Irvine and his unique relationship with the rest of the creative teams that built the Disney parks.  The book covers his entire career including Knott’s Berry Farm, Steve Wynn, Circus World, and Circus World. Rolly was known as something rather special at WED, someone that seemed to spark Walt’s imagination like nobody else. This allowed him to get away with things unlike many of his peers. As he delighted in this, others were not so amused. This gave Rolly the freedom to work on other projects and bring his magical touch. The book is filled with graphics including a section of his recent fine arts work. Strongly recommend. 
Disclosure: I received this book for free for the purpose of this review.
