Take a trip down memory lane with the memoir from national TV
treasure John Craven, as he recounts both the highs and lows of one
of the longest entertaining careers in history, and the people and
animals that have helped to shape it. _______ 'A cracking read'
Chris Evans, Virgin Radio Breakfast Show _______ He began by
reading the front page of the evening newspaper in the kitchen to
his mother and aunt. Since then he's spoken into microphones to the
nation on the BBC almost every week for more than half a century
and is one of the most-beloved broadcasters of our time. Presenter
of treasured programmes Newsround, Countryfile and Swap Shop, John
brought us the headlines and breaking news of our childhood and
later helped us discover the magic and wonder of the British
countryside. Now, in his first ever autobiography, he recounts a
life in news starting with the Grimthorpe Street Gazette, the
handwritten newspaper he produced in his early teens - just one
copy at a time, so small beginnings. Later, broadcasting on
television to millions of children, his casual style of
news-reading even found his jumpers making news. He writes about
his childhood, his career and the people, events - and animals -
that have shaped his life. This is John Craven. And this is the
story behind the man so many of us grew up watching on our
television screens. _______ 'Magical memoirs. A BBC legend. A
broadcasting icon. The best bits from cub reporter to Countryfile .
. . his early career sounds like a riot' Daily Mail
