Books About Errol Flynn

While most authors use MY WICKED, WICKED WAYS as a springboard from which to pursue their material, there are essentially two categories of books you'll find:

Okay. Say you've read Errol Flynn's autobiography MY WICKED, WICKED WAYS. You say to yourself, "What a heck of a life! Look at all the stuff this guy did!" You'd be only part right.

You see, of all the things Errol Flynn was, each of his biographers will confirm: he was a compulsive liar. If something sounded good, he'd say it or take credit for it. Often, he would lie just to gauge a person's reaction. It is theorised that later in life, his memory was so badly affected by continued substance abuse that he might have actually believed some of his own tall tales, often confusing names with those characters which appear in his 1946 novel SHOWDOWN. It's also very likely that he didn't expect anyone to go through the trouble to trace his pre-Hollywood life.

This category is of course where you'll find the best selection of material. Having learned from contact with friends and acquaintances that not everything had occured as documented in the autobiography, most of these writers went as close to the source as possible for their material. They wanted to find the truth behind Errol Flynn's "wicked, wicked ways", and appear to have come mighty close:
