...a highly readable and interesting book...Through personal stories and anecdotes, all giving vivid pictures of social history, the writer guides us through historical events that changed the world. Some of it is sad, but much of it is amusing, all full of colour...I would highly recommend it. Anna Grayson
Once upon a time, a shy kid from Skye almost drowned in nostalgia as he sat in the corner of a high-ceilinged room listening to fabulous tales of earthquakes, rebellion and crocodile hunting in a magical lost world. He grew up and survived his troubled teenage years in gang-ridden Paisley, field work in war-torn Rhodesia, near-death helicopter experiences in northern Canada and several encounters with bears. A mid-life crisis encouraged him to realize the importance of that childhood nostalgia and, using a life-long passion for history and his real-life adventures, he became a successful storyteller and author of more than fifty historical novels and non-fiction books for kids, teens and adults. He is still searching for that lost world, but this is the tale so far....a consummate storyteller...in John Wilson's hands the pitfalls of playing with truth are avoided and the dilemmas and paradoxes are fairly portrayed.--Ormsby Review
