There is usually a price to be paid for genius. And in Peter Sellers' case it was paid, in part at least, by his family. In this extraordinary book Michael Sellers, Peter's only son, tells the story of this father's life in a way that no-one else could tell it. Drawing on the experiences of his family, especially of his sister Sarah and his half-sister Victoria, he tells the story of the Peter Sellers he knew. The result is a book of quite exceptional human interest. Sellers was unpredictable and quixotic in the extreme. As his modds changed from day to day, his family had to cope with the consequences; and the restless nature of his personality meant that his children in particular lived in a state of continual upheaval, moving form school to school, form home to home. Peter Sellers was married four times - to Michael and sarah's mother,a ctress Anne Hayes, in the first place and subsequently to Britt Ekland, to Miranda Quarry and finally to Lyanne Frederick. As Michael tells the story of each marriage a pattern emerges: Peter Sellers was always searching for something in marriage he never found. Equally unfulfilling were his encounters with several other women who appeared in his life. Two things in particular emerge from this book: in spite of the turbulence of their relationship Michael loved his father to the end. Indeed, at the end of the book, as his father's heart condition worsened, Michael describes how he grew closer to his father and was with him on the day he died. Secondly, in the last analysis Peter Sellers' life was a tragic and sad one. Behind the mask of the comic who entertained and was loved by millions there was a lonely figure who ended his day dissappointed and frustrated. This was the price he himself had to pay for his genius.","brand":"Collins","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53598633787734,"sku":"9780002166492-G","price":3.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780002166492_1_5530ec74-445c-4eec-83a8-8683eb27ae3f.jpg?v=1781719842","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/michael-sarah-sellers-sellers-sellers-victoria-p-s-i-love-you-peter-sellers-the-man-and-the-myth-9780002166492","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
