**** This item's insert has been damaged and, subsequently, removed. This is therefore a set of the four original tapes in new boxes and has been graded as Acceptable **** Stephen Fry was born in 1957, and after a year or so of comparative silence, began to talk coherently in 1960.
His first written work 'Mummy' was awarded the Sunnyvale Primary School Gold Star for Neatness in 1961.
There followed years of neglect from the literary establishment until the Stout's Hill Preparatory School Senior Greek Prize of 1969 of 1969. A play Latin! won the Edinburgh Fringe First Prize ten years later. Four years after this Fry wrote the script for the award-winning musical Me & My Girl.
There followed some years of acting, Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster, some plays, some films, some books, a brief visit to Bruges in 1995 and, this year Making History, this third novel.
Stephen divides his time between Norfolk, London and New York City and has established something of a reputation as a knowledgeable collector of late twentieth century parking tickets.
