My Search for Montagu Pyke - Britain's First Cinema King

A biography of two halfs, a beautiful juxtaposition of the excessive lifes and times of Monty Pyke with the humbler beginnings of his grandson Chris Pyke. An amazing insight into the very first beginnings of the cinema business in this country and a rare chance to view London's and Americas early 1900s high society in its truest sense, as written by Monty himself. The extracts in the book were found 30 years after the death and demise of Monty Pyke in the format of memoirs stowed away in a black box in the under stair cupboard.
