Fantasy took over his life, in a world of battles ruled by his teddy bear, Alan Measles. He grew up. And in 2003, an acclaimed ceramic artist, he accepted the Turner Prize as his alter-ego Clare, wearing his best dress, with a bow in his hair. Now he tells his own story, his voice beautifully caught by his friend, the writer Wendy Jones. Early childhood in Chelmsford, Essex is a rural Eden that ends abruptly with the arrival of his stepfather, leading to constant swerving between his parents\u0026#39; houses, and between boys\u0026#39; and women\u0026#39;s clothes. But as Grayson enters art college and discovers the world of London squats and New Romanticism, he starts to find himself. At last he steps out as a potter and transvestite.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl \u003c/em\u003eis a collaboration between Grayson Perry and writer Wendy Jones.
