So Farewell Then by Wendy E Cook

The most intimate portrait of Peter Cook to date, Cook's first wife writes of her life with Britain's most ingenious and innovative comedian, and offering a side of him few have ever seen.

'An evocative and moving account of Cook's beginnings'
Daily Express

'Her candid disclosures reveal a side of the man the fans never saw'
Sunday Express

'Peter was a wit, it goes without saying, but he was funny in an almost supernatural way that has never been matched by anyone I've met or even heard about.'
Stephen Fry

'If there is a heaven he will be the funniest man there.' Clive Anderson

'Possibly the funniest man in the Western world. From his early 20s, nobody could hold a candle to him.'
Daily Mail

A fashion entrepreneur in the early Sixties, Wendy met Peter Cook while studying graphic design in Cambridge and they became engaged during the Edinburgh Festival run of Beyond the Fringe in 1960. Married in New York three years later, with Dudley Moore playing the organ, Wendy became a renowned hostess among a wide circle of talent in Manhattan and later at the couple’s Hampstead home. She is the mother of Cook’s two daughters and developed a pioneering interest in macrobiotic cookery in the search to improve the health of her younger child.
