Alan Rickman’s wife Rima Horton spoke about this and said, “I’m delighted that Canongate will be publishing Alan’s diaries and couldn’t have wished for a finer appointment of editor than Alan Taylor. The diaries reveal not just Alan Rickman the actor but the real Alan – his sense of humour, his sharp observation, his craftsmanship and his devotion to the arts.” Alan Taylor called the Harry Potter actor’s diaries ‘anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid’. He said, “They make compulsive reading and offer a peerless insight into the daily life of a remarkable actor, who was as beloved in the US as he surely was in the UK.” Also Read – Harry Potter’s Ron Weasley aka Rupert Grint makes Instagram debut, introduces daughter and crosses 2M followers, all in a day
