About the author

114 books2 followers"I’ve been involved in EFL in one way or another all my working life and enjoyed every aspect! I spent many happy years in the classroom teaching a range of nationalities, ages and levels and also several years as a DOS (which was much more of a headache!) I was a teacher trainer for many years too. I’ve done a lot of work with exams and was an examiner for Cambridge ESOL. I now do a lot of item writing for several different papers which I find very stimulating.
My greatest interest in recent years has been in writing and I’m lucky to have published quite a lot of materials. These include SkillsWork a higher level integrated skills book for Delta which came out earlier this year. I also really enjoy writing readers. EFL has been kind to me and through it I’ve met some amazing people. These days I spend most of my time writing and I’m very happy doing so. Long may it last!"

Had a few good laughs in this one, and I enjoyed the local color.
A good read for residents of Lemhi County or those who want to know what life was like for teenagers or vagabonds in the late 1940s. I met the author at an event in Idaho.
I thought this was funny and each chapter stands alone as a slice of life or an amusing anecdote told in the guise of fiction. I especially enjoyed the story of losing the silver dollars, and rescuing the ZIP man from the post office. And the story of a dead man who brings a bottle was well done.
I deducted a star, just for lack of character action (most of the stories are observations from one of the four central vagabonds). I didn't like the feckless, unfocused natures of these bums (they are actual bums who live under the bridge) but then again . . . they are booze-obsessed bums! What did I expect? Striving for excellence?

This story is the first story book that I read in English and it was very useful for learning and starting to learn a new language.
