Why read it?
1 author picked Untold Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I aspire to get anywhere close to his skill, tinctured as he is with his own unique Yorkshire-ness and ironic sense of observational humour.
From John's list on books by descriptive popularists with humour.
