Description
Remember the UK '60s tv series The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan? A5 Hardback 100 pages color/monochrome signed and numbered.
Why Portmeirion? Why Number 6? Why did he resign? These questions and more are all answered by six writers with correspondence from story editor George Markstein himself, the transcript of his only audience-participation interview, an "alternative" resolution to the series and several never before published photographs and memorabilia, all to set you on the trail of who created The Prisoner.
"Very impressive - an essential purchase for Prisoner fans" - Steven Paul Davies, author of 'The Prisoner Handbook'.
"Impressively researched and very informative." - Robert Fairclough, author of 'The Prisoner: The Official Companion to the Classic TV Series'.
"Thoroughly enjoyed. Fascinating especially to have some more light shed on the mysterious Markstein. Beautifully presented too. Lovely item to have in my collection. Kudos to you!" - Rupert Booth, author of Patrick McGoohan's recent biography.
"I learnt so much from your splendid Prisoner book and feel that the work really fills a gap in the literature on the series. I was particularly impressed at how you use evidence from different sources when considering the "for" and "against" perspectives on the various arguments. In a phrase: "informative, well balanced and nicely judged". It's also beautifully illustrated! My knowledge of 'The Prisoner' today would be significantly poorer without it." - Andrew K Shenton, author of 'Unique But Similar: The Prisoner Compared'.
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Your interview with George Markstein was a revelation and brought him to life" - Leslie Glenn, author of 'The Prisoner Interrogations'.
"What an excellent piece of work. Extremely accomplished. The content is informative, original, gripping. As a work of reference it brings fresh information and it is an insightful portrait of the man." - David Barrie, Six of One, The Prisoner Appreciation Society.
