The princess is soon befriended by three eccentric widows who invite her to a picnic with all the palace's inhabitants, for which Pooki bakes a pigeon pie.

Up till now
by William Shatner ; with David Fisher.
Format:

This is the story of William Shatner's half-century career and private life. It describes his early TV work and movies, including stories from three television series: T.J. Hooker, Rescue 911, and Boston Legal, as well as his work on Third Rock from the Sun, for which he won his first Emmy for playing "the Big Giant Head." And of course, it includes the story of Star Trek; how it came about and how it affected him--and fans--concluding with the story of a taxi driver who told Shatner he'd been a prisoner in Vietnam and that pretending they were the Star Trek crew kept him and his fellow inmates sane. After almost 60 years, William Shatner has become one of our most beloved entertainers. For the first time, William Shatner shares the remarkable, full story of his life.
