QuikQuote: The essence of the life of Walt Disney, dreamer, innovator, entrepreneur and protean exporter of American culture--and dead for 40 years this month--has eluded biographers. Until now. The Hollywood historian Neal Gabler masterfully fills the gap with his 851-page Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination (Alfred A. Knopf). If you're in search of a long, satisfying holiday vacation read, this is the book.
I read it from San Francisco to Miami (and back) and during our tenth FORBES Cruise for Investors in the eastern Caribbean Sea. So good was Walt Disney that I skipped a snorkeling trip in Grand Turk and a splash with the dolphins in Tortola. I will now publicly beg my abandoned wife's forgiveness. Honey, the book was that good.
