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.

“A picturesque journey! Even the Kray twins commissioned Max for a portrait of their mother!” (Shaun Attwood, true crime YouTuber and author)

Fantastic Listen

The complete lack of dates (not even years, let alone months) and the constant jumping from one scenario to another without warning was irritating too.
Overall, definitely worth a listen, but the story could have been written better.
Largely two dimensional life story.
