Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Potter is best known in America as the author of two popular miniseries, Pennies from Heaven and The Singing Detective , shown here on public television. Fuller, executive editor of Interview magazine, produced this book from five interviews he conducted with Potter. As one would expect, Fuller is adept at his job. Those American readers who pick up the book, however, are likely to be disappointed, as much of it is concerned with works (such as his early plays written for the BBC) that have received little or no exposure here. For special collections. --John Smothers, Monmouth Cty. Lib., Manalapan, N.J.
