Laughing Through Life: Tales of a Yorkshireman
narrated by: J. Robert Whittle
An autobiographical journey of the author's fascinating life as told by J. Robert Whittle himself. Scores of fans have asked him to write his autobiography . . . but he declined, so Joyce had him record it for you!
This Yorkshire, England, lad's life was full even before he became a bestselling award-winning author. It's also been full of laughter -- his mother claimed he was laughing from the minute he was born! Now, hear about this intriguing senior's life from his birth to becoming a young entrepreneur, professional cricketer, British mining engineer; then his life in England and Australia, and finally immigrating to Canada where he worked in Winnipeg and Baffin Island before at last settling in Victoria, BC in 1971.
