Book Synopsis Tiddlers in a Jam Jar by : Brian E. Priest
Download or read book Tiddlers in a Jam Jar written by Brian E. Priest and published by Iliad Publishing Services. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an Aladdin’s cave of treasure for the reader who enjoys writing that engages the senses as well as one’s appreciation of great writing. The author’s humour and wit are dry and subtle. Each sentence is a polished visual gem, drawing the reader into the events unfolding or the situation described. His style is succinct, the whole flows in a lyrical way, carrying the reader smoothly along on a never-ending river of images. For me, the imagery evoked in just a few sentences is something I have hardly ever found. What makes it even more enjoyable is that the creation of the imagery is somehow effortless. I absolutely adored this book. Fiona Ingram – Multi-award winning author. Tiddlers in a Jam Jar is a delightful blend of adventure, travel memoir and literary non-fiction. Brian’s story begins in wartime Britain when his world exploded into flames and flying debris with blackness on the windows of houses. He tottered, war damaged, on purple-cold legs his nose-dribble rounds of a hospital, and dreamt away treadmill school years, to globe-trot on a 50-year odyssey of dangerous and hilarious encounters. To greet a foreign dawn rising into day and feel the thrill of teetering on the unknown. The author has led an unconventional path through life, lost in jungles in search of Mayan ruins, face to face with mountain lions, riding the Hippie Trail and sailing an Asian sea of fleeing refugees.

Book Synopsis Life in the Suburbs by : Dave Taylor-Jones
Download or read book Life in the Suburbs written by Dave Taylor-Jones and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave Taylor-Jones recalls his experiences of growing up near Watford, just outside of London in this absorbing memoir of his life in the 50s and 60s. Tragically, he lost his father in the Second World War, an event which forms the foundation for the book which explores his life as a typical working-class boy in the post-war years and captures the sense of security and freedom of those times. Music lessons, trainspotting, paper rounds, building tree houses and bikes and adventures in the Cubs and Scouts, were all part of his childhood before going on to Secondary Modern School in Watford and starting work in Paddington. Life in the Suburbs is a humorous and touching account which will strike a chord with people who lived through those times, but will also appeal to younger generations curious about their grandparents’ lives.

Book Synopsis Pinnacles and Pratfalls by : Elizabeth Birchall
Download or read book Pinnacles and Pratfalls written by Elizabeth Birchall and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A fascinating and absorbing story... Before we forget the past, we ought to read her.' Merryn Williams Pinnacles and Pratfalls reflects with humour and depth on Birchall's mobile life from the 'hungry thirties' and selling their piano, through a wartime childhood and her father's early death. Four years in the Royal Navy introduced her to far-flung parts of the UK before she moved on to university, and to social work. Her peripatetic life continued with promotions and further stints at universities, largely in the contentious field of child protection. She lost her ardent religious faith and recognised her sexual identity. Since the death of her beloved partner and her final job as a Research Fellow at Stirling University she now enjoys retirement around Oxford. Changing lifestyles and public policy together offer a slice of social history seen through one pair of eyes. 'The thinking social worker's champion.' Colin Prower 'Beautifully written... moving... honest.' Polly Coles
Download or read book Birthday written by Alan Sillitoe and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-anticipated sequel to Alan Sillitoe’s bestselling classic 1950s novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning Arthur and Brian Seaton are heading back to their hometown, Nottingham, some forty-odd years after the close of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. The brothers plan to surprise Brian’s first love, Jenny Tuxford, on her seventieth birthday. Arthur, the notorious lothario, still has some of his old spark, but it has been hampered by domestic life and his wife’s recent cancer diagnosis. Meanwhile, Brian, now a failed novelist but successful television writer living in London, is struggling with dissatisfaction and emotional regrets. He and Jenny had fooled around in their teenage years—a lot of heavy petting through complicated clothing on her parents’ settee—but Jenny ended up marrying someone else. Now that Jenny’s husband has passed away, will sparks fly between her and Brian again? It is clear that the Nottingham of their youth no longer exists. The trams are now buses; the collieries and ironmongers have been replaced by cell phone shops and halal grocers; new high-rise apartments have sprung up; and the idle young hang around the city pubs whining about the dole. Where Saturday Night and Sunday Morning portrayed the chaotic energy of youth, Birthday is an investigation of the other end of the spectrum: the contemplation of missed chances and terminal decline, and the awareness that “death’s blackout could descend at any minute.” This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alan Sillitoe including rare images from the author’s estate.
Book Synopsis Fishing the River of Time by : Tony Taylor
Download or read book Fishing the River of Time written by Tony Taylor and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age eighty, Tony Taylor journeys from Sydney, Australia, to British Columbia to fish the Cowichan River with his eight-year-old grandson, Ned. The trip is an opportunity for Tony to return to a landscape that has had a profound effect on his life and his way of thinking, and to share this place with his grandson. As Tony teaches Ned the patient art of fly-fishing, a lifetime of memories, thoughts, and stories unspool in peaceful reflections by the water's edge. Fishing the River of Time is an elegant meditation on nature, life, and family, written with warmth and wisdom. It inspires self-reflection and an appreciation of the natural world and the fundamentals of our human experience. It is destined to become a classic work of simple living in the mold of Henry David Thoreau's Walden.
