From Bond baddie Scaramanga in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN to Count Dracula and the wizard Saruman in LORD OF THE RINGS, Christopher Lee's remarkable career has delighted and terrified fans young and old alike. But his life has proved just as strange as his films. Lee's family was descended from papal nobility, and an unusual home life was counterbalanced by his conventionally English education, as public school was followed by the RAF and dramatic wartime experiences. After the war Lee entered the bizarre world of British films, and his success in Hammer's THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN proved to be the start of decades of cinematic triumphs ranging from Sherlock Holmes to THE WICKER MAN and SLEEPY HOLLOW. Recounted with Lee's characteristic self-deprecating wit and hilarious anecdotes, LORD OF MISRULE narrates the astonishing career of the man the GUARDIAN describes as simply 'the coolest actor on the planet'.

Christopher Lee is one of theose people whose life is an interesting read, From his early childhood years , military life, and then Acting career, Lee uses older , European terms to describe his story,. So it would help to brush up. His friendships are a bullwark of his life, and they are memorable. Lee is one of those unique people when on the "Silver" screen are most present, and have that attraction that engages. I look fondly at his life, and that he took the time to share it with us. Highly recommended.

A wonderful life!
This is an engaging and often humorous memoir from one of the most elegant and talented actors of the last century, now having the time of his life while he's in his 80s! We should all have such interesting and wonderful lives to recount. Receiving a long-deserved knighthood this past year, he is finally recognized for the great actor and wonderful personality he is. Cheers and long life to him. A delightful and marvelous experience from beginning to end.
