Charlie Chaplin
“Chaplin's rise makes an enthralling story, and it’s one perfectly suited to Peter Ackroyd’s prodigious and idiosyncratic talents ... Ackroyd acknowledges Chaplin’s many human failings, while at the same time giving us a vivid sense of what made the man a genius.”—The Telegraph
“[A] fine biography ... The luxury of a short book about a vast life cannot be overestimated.”
