Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Many studies have sought to reveal the man behind the mask, but Louvish looks afresh at the mask behind the man, looking at the relationship between the Tramp, his creator and his fans.

Publisher's description:

Charlie Chaplin was first lauded and later reviled in the America that made him Hollywood's richest man. This title presents relationship between the Tramp, his creator, and his world-wide fans, and retrieves Chaplin as the iconic London street-kid who carried the 'surreal' antics of early British Music Hall triumphantly onto the Hollywood screen.
