I never expected to enjoy this as much as I did. Rolf Harris' autobiography charts his life from the age of 3 living in a house in an area of scrubland just outside Perth, Australia, up to 2001, which was when this book was written. Rolf's house was built by his father - and in those days in Australia that meant literally built, stone (panel, nail) by stone out of whatever was available, adding rooms as soon as they could scrounge the materials for them.
The whole book is an eyeopener, showing that Rolf didn't merely take his chances - he often just made them happen by sheer cheek and inventiveness. It reminded me of how diversely talented this man is, and how keen he was to share his talents.
It also makes me feel ashamed for poking fun at him (as did thousands of others) during my "cool teens". But I think he was well aware of this tendency at the time.
Hugely enjoyable, and entertainingly written.
