Goon But Not Forgotten by John Antrobus NEUF le plus cher

This book is essentially about me - me midst the Goons!

Me! Me! Me!

(How disgusting! Whats this fellow going on about?)

It is an unashamed celebration of MY life not in the past but TODAY and in that, it becomes a celebration of YOUR lives TODAY...

This is not some pious documentary or painstaking recollection of THOSE days!

It is about TODAY and the book you are holding in your hands and you are wonderful RIGHT NOW. You are the LIFE of all the heroes you admire!

You can say, Oh! Its a pack of lies then? Inventions of an author clawing his way back into the limelight? Or trying to. Thats a laugh in itself. Yes, do say that. I dont mind...

But the GOONS depicted were inventions of their own lives no less than I have reinvented them. They would be grateful for these tales based upon fragments or reality in the history of place and years and days and ever the present moment when the GOONS in respite from their self-inventions faced a silence because the real journey is to discover how WONDERFUL we all are already!!

So if you want to cast this book aside a great good has already been done for you. You are more amazing than the whole world of books you have read or not yet read or will never read because the book world and indeed the whole world can only reflect the wonder of being you...

I will be in touch again with more amazing works. Thanks for reading this back cover at no expense and do have a nice day. Unless you have already made other plans. As Peter Ustinov once remarked...

PS: Appearing in these pages you will find Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. They seek their arch enemy the dreaded Count Moriarty for this very villain has been ridiculed in the Goon Shows and now seeks his revenge.

Holmes is aware of the great danger he and Watson face of becoming ensnared as characters in the book - of being trivialised now they are out of copyright. Watson has no idea that they are continually being rewritten, a vision only granted to the out of this world opium pipe smoking Holmes!
