Great fun, Cliff! These clippings also made a nice companion to Errol’s other nonfiction book BEAMS END.
Glad you enjoyed it, Rick! I know of Beams End, but it always slips my mind because I don’t have a copy; haven’t read it. But absolutely!
Fantastic information for ERROL fans,especially the specific dates which piece together ERROL’s intriguing journey through life…– John Walter Skinner,Worthing,England
Could you tell if I have authentic Errol Flynn signature on the back of a black and white photograph l found if you like I can take a photo of it and send to you with a text message or email much appreciated
Hi, I’m sorry, but autographs/signatures aren’t an area I have knowledge in. Basically, I always lean on the side of inauthentic and leave it to the experts. Sorry about that. I’d try a site that specializes in autographed material. Good luck! –Cliff
