“Reality Behind the Fantasy” by Caroline Munro

About the book:
From the hallowed grounds of Hammer Horror to the soaring heights of Bond and Sinbad, Caroline Munro has long been immortalised as the First Lady of Fantasy. In "Reality Behind the Fantasy", Caroline steps out of the spotlight and into her truth with a candid memoir that's filled with warmth, wit and a healthy dose of sparkle and glamour.

Behind the smokey eyeliner and the cult film posters, Caroline shares backstage anecdotes from her accidental start in show business to working with cinematic legends such as Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price, as well as iconic Ray Harryhausen creatures.

Told in Caroline's unmistakable voice – elegant, mischievous and deeply human – "Reality Behind the Fantasy" is an invitation to step beyond her world of fantasy and meet the real woman who has lived it all.
