Pt 5: The Afterlife of Peter Sellers - Chapter 14: Love and Death. As I come to the end of this book (the final chapter is a long one in a very long book) we also come to the end of Peter Sellers' life.

Pt 5: The Afterlife of Peter Sellers - Chapter 13: The Crack-Up. There are, it has to be said, a lot of assumptions in this biography about Sellers' mental state and it is hard to know how much is true.
