London England: Century, Date: 1993. If the legend of Richard Burton - the Welsh boy who squandered looks, talent and finally life - is public property, the real Burton has remained hidden in the hearts and memories of those who knew him all his life - his family. The author shrewdly captures the court of the wandering royalty of filmland: Richard the genial host stepping over the line from well-oiled exuberance to drunken temper; Richard the nostalgic, rugby-loving son of the valleys, his jokles, his anecdotes, his happiness, his black depressions and self-doubt: these David Jednkins observed at first hand and now recounts with rare intimacy. Written over a period of ten years, with unique access to some of Burton's own writings, and drawing on family recollection never made public before, this book is a privilged insight into the heart and mind of a true star at every stage of his life.
