Boy is only the first of his two autobiographies!! I highly, highly
HIGHLY recomend Going Solo. His encounter with the British Raj and U.
N. Savory on the boat ride to Africa left me helpless in tears of
laughter. The stories of his experiences in the african based RAF are
absoluting harrowing, but the photograph he took of the world's
largest standing arch by rigging a gun trigger to his camera shutter
is beautiful.

I would also like to take this opportunity to recomend The Giraffe and
The Pelly and Me.


Frankie, who is related to the Tom who beat Captain Najork and his
hired sportsmen.
