Dame Edna - A New Book!

Hello Possums!

Several days ago I promised a week full of electrifying and edifying Edna news, and here I am, you little darlings, with more headlines concerning our dazzling dame...

Today I'm thrilled to tell you that Barry Humphries has just released a new book in Australia called:

"Handling Edna - The Unauthorised Biography"!

It tells the story of the 'other' Barry Humphries - the Barry Humphries who is the man behind the gigastar - the manager who made it possible for the frumpy housewife from Mooney Ponds to become the international phenomenon we all know and love today.

Hatchette's official description of this fabulous new title reads:

"
In this unauthorised biography, acquired for an unprecedented advance and in spectacular secrecy, long-time manager and the man who was there from the very beginning, Barry Humphries takes a behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred look at an icon of our times - Dame Edna Everage."

Non-entities and gigastar-groupies the world over will be desperate to get hold of a copy of this gorgeous new release as soon as possible!

Quicksticks, Possums! Click through to "Couriermail.com.au" to read an exclusive extract, as well as an interview with the great man himself:
