I bought the first version of Mr. Ed and Me when it came out in 1994, but this new expanded version entitled Mr. Ed and Me and More is far superior. With much added text by Alan Young and extensively illustrated with many more rare photographs, this new more elaborate version is well worth the money. This is a quirky and delightful memoir by the man who worked with the world's most famous talking horse, Mister Ed, in one of the most beloved television shows of all time. The book also contains a new section written by actress Connie Hines who played Carol Post, Alan Young's wife on the Mister Ed show. She writes for the first time about her background, life, and, of course, Mister Ed. Alan Young has a charming writing style and it is easy to see the fun and warmth of the show reflected in the man. Full of behind the scenes information about the Mister Ed show, Young also writes about his film roles including the classic film version of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine (1960) directed by George Pal, and his other notable motion pictures such as Mr. Belvedere Goes to College, Androcles and the Lion, Tom Thumb, etc. Young has also provided the voice for Scrooge McDuck for Walt Disney cartoon films. Highly recommended, and a perfect gift book for friends

Mister Ed and Me and More! is the autobiography of actor Alan Young, perhaps most famous for his sitcom role as Wilbur Post, co-starring with the "talking" horse Mr. Ed. Born in England, raised in Canada, yet often playing the role of "the all-American boy", Young tells of his youth, his friendships with Hollywood elite, his movie career, and much more. A dollop of tongue-in-cheek humor as well as an assortment of vintage black-and-white photographs rounds out this genial memoir. Especially recommended for fans of Alan Young - or Mr. Ed!

I love Mister Ed. I was pleased to buy this book at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention and more pleased to have purchased a copy with Alan Young's signature inside. Clint Eastwood, George Burns, Warner Bros., they are all here. Story after story after story. The kind of autobiography and behind-the-scenes stories we all love to hear and read. Rarely do autobiographies fall into the category of enjoyable reads. This one is certainly recommended if you love Mister Ed.

Full of many rare photos with funny captions. This updated book is so entertaining I read it in three days. Work of course prevented me from reading it in one sitting!
Alan (Angus) Young is a master story teller and you can just picture yourself in the cold Canadian mountains as you read.
A must for all fans of good writing and of course Alan Young himself!

I'm a huge Mr. Ed fan - always have been, always will be. And for anyone who's as big a fan as I am this book is a MUST! I read this book in two sittings, and I never laughed so much in my life. It is so well written and full of wonderful triva. Alan Young has knocked this one out of the ball park. Thank you, Alan Young, for one of the best reads of my life.
