About this listen

Max the Forger is an artist and gentleman whose colorful lifestyle has spanned over 70 years. He has lived under the strict regime of Barnardo’s children’s homes, been an elephant handler in the circus, lived rough, busked his way from Brighton to Bombay, sold his fakes up and down the country, dined with dukes, socialized with celebrities, associated with gangsters, served time in prison, and donated tens of thousands to charity. And through it all, he never stopped smiling and loving life - and missing his mum.

“Mister Brandrett, I do not see you as a malicious criminal,” sighed the judge, “but why-oh-why do you continue to use your God-given talent in this way?”

“I just can’t help myself, Your Honor. It’s like an addiction.” I grinned.

Fascinating look at a fascinating fellow

I would love to see this as a movie or series! This was a truly fascinating listen about a fellow whose life was quite unique and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the minutia that lead him to where he ended up and of all the fascinating tales of his adventures his passion for painting and addiction to creating forged art. Loved this. Very well narrated story. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The Life of a Cheeky Forger

This was an outstanding book! I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Max has had one heck of a ride,from being a child with no shoes,to orphanages,foster homes and military school to ritzy galas with popular folk.All is told in cheeky prose. Narration by Charles Robert Fox was nearly perfect.A break between chapters would have been helpful.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
