Publisher's Summary

Karen Knotts tells the full story of her father, Don Knotts.

Much has been written about Don Knotts's career, especially about his iconic role as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show, but personal views into the man himself are few and far between. In Tied Up in Knotts, a loving daughter provides a full-life narrative of her father: Don's difficult childhood in an abusive home, his escape into comedic performance, becoming a household name, his growth as a feature film actor, his failing health, and his family life throughout, leading to touching and hilarious moments that will make the listener laugh and cry.

Those looking for a behind-the-scenes peek at the show, from the nuts and bolts of production to the hilarious pranks and heartfelt moments between the cast and crew, will see it all through the eyes of the little girl who grew up on the set. Knotts will delight listeners with the memories of celebrities touched by Don's life, including Ron Howard, Tim Conway, Andy Griffith, Elinor Donahue, John Waters, Barbara Eden, Katt Williams, and Jim Carrey.

Tied Up in Knotts delves beyond Barney Fife nostalgia to tell the life story of a man and father.

I feel like Don is my best friend

What a wonderful tribute to Don Knotts. Thank you Karen for sharing insights and stories about the man.
We all know him as his characters. It’s great to know him for the man he was. I’m sorry I never met him.
