A Mere Mortal is about just that, a run-of-the-mill, everyday, average kind of person. Sounds dull, huh? Skier, footballer, actor, broadcaster, photographer, tennis player, athlete, singer, lover, presenter, interviewer, charity worker, child genius, university graduate and now contented senior citizen, author of play, children's picture book and memoirs. Plus celebrity stories, comic adventures, and both successes and failures in Britain and across Europe too. Witty, self-deprecating and above all honest accounts of an exciting life, told in episodic form. From school in the late 50s and 60s Gloucestershire, through university in Wales during the 70s, the book takes us back to a more innocent time, when kids played out for hours on end, cycling, running, football in the road or spending time in the woods and streams, watching black and white tv on 2 channels, no mobiles or laptops. A Mere Mortal is a book packed with nostalgia, fun and ambitions, often thwarted, but all written in good humour and with tongue firmly in cheek. Here is a book, after all is said and done, which might just make you smile!
