Knightley went on for years about how she was dyslexic at school. But my best friend's fiancee (now wife) taught her in Surrey and she says that's all bollocks!

I remember it well. In later life, I thought that the writer had perhaps become familiar with "The Amityville Horror."

Was that the one where it was all a con?

Mine was in good condition but also lacking it's dust jacket. Sadly other volumes of interest in the library were on archive, Gutenberg etc so I didn't bother...
