About this listen

Max the Forger is an artist and gentleman whose colorful lifestyle has spanned over 70 years. He has lived under the strict regime of Barnardo’s children’s homes, been an elephant handler in the circus, lived rough, busked his way from Brighton to Bombay, sold his fakes up and down the country, dined with dukes, socialized with celebrities, associated with gangsters, served time in prison, and donated tens of thousands to charity. And through it all, he never stopped smiling and loving life - and missing his mum.

“Mister Brandrett, I do not see you as a malicious criminal,” sighed the judge, “but why-oh-why do you continue to use your God-given talent in this way?”

“I just can’t help myself, Your Honor. It’s like an addiction.” I grinned.

A touch of innocence

I love books on art forgers but usually from the side of those who track them down. I generally do not much like books written by the fraudsters, so I was surprised to find myself enjoying this. I don’t know if it was the naivety of the author / fraudster, or the excellent narration, butI found myself charmed by the bumbling character at the centre of this story. Number 1? I don’t know about that, however it was still good.
