King of the Witches: The World Of Alex Sanders By June Johns Publisher: Peter Davies 1969. HB What is in effect an autobiography, as it was literally transcribed, it is a fine portrait of fiction with a few glimpses of the real Alex Sanders. It can however be difficult to sort the wheat from the chafe.
