Ticket to the CarnivalAutobiography

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £7.44
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The author was born and raised on the south coast and, after a stint of National Service, left for London to follow his calling - entertainment in all its many guises. Barrie Stacey is a well known figure on the London entertainment scene and has worked in various aspects of the entertainment business for decades, proving that style never goes out of fashion. Describing himself as being 'older than God' his working life has included many of the greats, such as Jessie Matthews, Russell Grant, Quentin Crisp, Frankie Howerd, and Diana Dors, all of whom feature in the book. Hilarious, audacious, and scandalous A TICKET TO THE CARNIVAL is everything its name implies. A zany and funny memoir which reveals British Theatre inside out, told with Barrie Stacey's inimitable style and charm.
