Why read it?
1 author picked Untold Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Alan Bennett is another master storyteller and I’m proud to say from my home county and local city where I spent the days of my 20s finding my way.

From John's list on books by descriptive popularists with humour.
