Mark David Lawlor
Certainly left me wanting more. Pure joy: no one quite has a turn of phrase like Alan Bennett. And this edition is a small great gift. Short and sweet at approximately 50 pages.

A great little book but not much of it! Read within a few hours of delivery.

Whenever you open one of Alan Bennett's books, life opens in front of you and you jump inside. What a magnificent writer.
