A must have book about the kings and queens of comedy

For anyone interested in comedy from the silent days to the Golden Era this is a must have book. The impact of big name stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, and lesser known luminaries such as Zasu Pitts and Ben Turpin , are artfully detailed in this massive volume. Rare photographs bring the good old days of comedy back to life.
