Book Review:This is an autobiography of a young boy growing in Post World War 1 Britain, in Gloucestershire. It is the story of a time long gone. No electricity, no cars no modern conveniences. Just the countryside and a harsh way of life. But it does have its benefits.

Book Review:This collection of autobiographical essays ranges over adultery and parenthood, ghosts and gods, fiction and football. Living in Italy seems to sharpen the author`s prose and make him even more cleverly English.
