Delightful anecdotal collection, told with wry humour and a gentle, sometimes quirky style slightly reminiscent of a bygone era. Wood is well-travelled with a keen sense of enjoyment of what he experiences, and a talent for bringing that visually to print. The short, usually self-contained pieces make wonderful cameos both for those who do their reading in snatches, and those who will want to devour his stories in one sitting.
