Private Lives by Mark Bryant
Most biographical dictionaries merely provide a bald and arid listing of the subject's date of birth, life history and major achievements, offering scant idea of what he or she was really like as a human being. Private Lives, in total contrast, scores strongly on the 'Hello!' magazine scale of intimate revelation, painting full, warts-and-all, what-do-they-keep-in-their-underwear-drawer pictures of over 200 famous and infamous characters from history.
Mark Bryant's books include Dictionary of British Cartoonists & Caricaturists 1730-1980, World War II in Cartoons, God in Cartoons and Dictionary of 20th Century British Cartoonists & Caricaturists. He was Vice-President of the British Cartoonists' Association 1999-2000.
