The Book of 1,000 Beautiful Things and Other Stories

Award-winning author Hugh Robinson again weaves his magic for you in this superb follow-up to his best-selling book, Back Across the Fields of Yesterday. Now, The Book of 1000 Beautiful Things and Other Favourites is another feast of nostalgia, observation, and humour.. From the back streets of Belfast in the hungry thirties to the vast sweep of today's rural Russia, discovering the Golden Valley or hob-nobbing with legendary American singing star Frankie Laine, Hugh writes from the heart, and with compassion.. He doesn't apologise for the fact he writes for and about the common man - 'his own people' and in this superb new volume he introduces you to another delightful selection of characters you'll immediately recognize - street urchins, farmers, tramps, out of luck bachelors, and kind Russian citizens with whom Hugh lived in their native land.. As a writer Hugh believes what comes from the heart will go to the heart. The Book of 1000 Beautiful Things is destined to do just that.
