An excellent combination of author and subject January 20, 2003

If you came across this book in the shops you might be put off by its size, even in paperback format, but that would be a pity. This is a well researched and well written biography of a complex and fascinating man who had a number of faults but at least as many virtues and numerous accomplishments. It's hard to think of anyone else who has achieved so much in so many varied fields of human endeavour. Having read, only recently, an earlier biography of Fry, I was amazed at how much information Wilton has added. His assessments of Fry's character and achievements (and those of his infamous wife) are objective and thoughtfully discussed. If you wanted to read only one biography this would be an excellent choice, even if you aren't particularly keen on cricket; if you are, it should be essential reading.
