Part autobiography, part letters mostly from his mother, from the time Courtenay went to USC and then on to RADA. I wasn't as moved by the letters as I should have been, I suppose, but did like the autobiographical bits - especially when he tells us (often) of bursting into tears at the least provocation. It gives me licence to do the same (which I do anyway!). He comes across as a very nice man.
