Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a nostalgic story about Pat Stacey and friends who joined The League of Ovaltineys in 1941. In 1945 they formed their own club, initially growing and selling garden produce to raise funds. From humble beginnings of camping, cooking and meetings in the back garden they progressed to hiking, camping, ice skating, swimming, youth hosteling and more. They put concerts on and sold handcrafted items made by themselves making donations to Dr Barnardo’s Homes. The accent was on hard work and fun. Pat Stacey compiled log books with hand written essays by the girls so the story is written by them. Michael Parkinson has completed the picture by researching and writing histories of Ovaltine, Barnardo’s and the Youth Hostel Association – all important to Pat and the girls.

It's a wonderful book' MELVYN BRAGG * * * * * * * * * All Michael Parkinson really wanted to do was play cricket for Yorkshire and England. However, he soon realised that to be paid to watch films, football and cricket would be the best way to spend life, and he became a journalist. Television beckoned and for three decades Parkinson interviewed the movers and shakers of the late twentieth century, making his television programme the must-see event of the week. In singing with Bing Crosby, dancing with Billy Connolly, flirting with Miss Piggy and sparring with Muhammad Ali, Parkinson proved himself one of the most engaging and durable hosts in both Britain and Australia. In Parky he recalls a full life with honesty, insight and humour.

Book Synopsis Like Father, Like Son by : Michael Parkinson
Download or read book Like Father, Like Son written by Michael Parkinson and published by Hodder Paperbacks. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'a quietly impressive book, which does something most celebrity autobiographies shy away from: it seeks the truth and, more often than not, finds it.' - THE MAIL A look at the life and times of the man Sir Michael most looked up to. It started in the shadow of the pithead in a South Yorkshire mining village and ended up in tears before an audience of millions. Michael Parkinson's relationship with his late father John William was, and remains, a family love story overflowing with tenderness and tall tales of sporting valour, usually involving Yorkshire cricket or Barnsley FC. However, it was the overwhelming grief which poured out of Michael when Piers Morgan pressed him about John William in a television interview - four decades after the death of the father he encapsulated as 'Yorkshireman, miner, humorist and fast bowler' - that convinced one of the outstanding broadcasters and journalists of our time to delve deeper into the dynamics of their lives together. Co-written with his son Mike, this affectionate and revealing memoir explores the influences which shaped John William, Michael and succeeding generations of Parkinsons. The journey leads them from the depths of a Yorkshire coal mine, via the chapel, pub and picture-house, to a spot behind the bowler's arm at Lord's and the sands at Scarborough. While Like Father, Like Son conveys a powerful sense of time and place, it is wit, insight and, above all, enduring love which shine through its pages., ,
