WHY SHOULD ENGLAND TREMBLE?
Author: David Fowler
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1471677486
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
In 2009 after publication of my last book - National Service, Elvis & Me! - I planned to write another book. But fate intervened and after self-publishing my previous books demand grew from others who wanted help to get their own books into print.Whilst we were busy publishing books for others, I appealed for anecdotes and stories to include in Why Should England Tremble. Over 60 people generously submitted contributions, but it was only in March 2012, on a tranquil island, near Luxor in Egypt, that I was able to start shuffling the entries and putting the book together.Why Should England Tremble? is the result - a Miscellany of Anecdotes, Facts, Humour & Memories which have come from many individuals and sources.I do hope you enjoy reading this book which I feel it is the sort of light hearted book you can pick up and laugh at and put down in between reading the more serious stuff.
