Synopsis "Bed, Book and Kindle - Book Two: More short stories - both fictitional and factual - plus smiley odds-and-ends to pass the time on a bus, train, boat (in English)"
Bed, Book and Kindle Book Two continues the fascinating mix of fictional tales and factual short stories from the author's own life. As a Liverpudlian born in the mid 1930's, with 'mixed' parentage (mother Greek Orthodox, father a member of a local Mason Lodge) and supporting both Everton and Liverpool F.C., variety has been the spice of Donald Yates's life. From running Mecca's Locarno Ballroom's in Blackburn and Burnley, to being held up at gunpoint as village Postmaster, his was definitely a life less ordinary. Like his hero, Winston Churchill, Donald Yates was a 'duffer' at school. But his life-long penchant for writing has earned him many prizes and accolades, including commendations by both John Paul II and Kofi Anan. Bed, Book and Kindle Book Two is a delightful, witty and acutely observed retrospective of 1950s life in the North of England, interspersed with some wickedly funny storytelling. From With Mecca, a recollection of working in the entertainment business, to the poetry of Some Blank Verse, readers cannot fail to be delighted by the wit, observations and narrative of this extraordinary man.
