If you are a Richard Burton or Elizabeth Taylor fan, and keen on knowing in detail about their life journey, then here we have news for you.

Renowned actor Richard Burton's secret diaries paint a more intimate, gentle and thoughtful picture of his love for Elizabeth Taylor, their life together and their two stormy marriages. Buzz says that diaries cover his life from the age of 14 until just before his death in 1984 at the age of 58.

He describes Taylor as a "wildly exciting lover-mistress" who was "beautiful beyond the dreams of pornography." The 450,000 handwritten words are recorded in pocket books, desk diaries and on loose paper. Burton, who was married five times and had four children, kept his diaries religiously.

Burton was born the 12th of 13 children into a Welsh mining family and met Taylor on the set of the film Cleopatra in 1963. The attraction was instantaneous and they launched into a whirlwind romance, marrying a year later.

They got divorced in 1974 but wedded again just a year later. That marriage only lasted a year. Entries from November 1968 read: "I have been inordinately lucky all my life but the greatest luck of all has been Elizabeth.

The diaries, given to Swansea University by Burton's last wife Sally and edited by Professor Chris Williams, are to be published later this year.

So, all Burton fans, you know where to get it from!
