This memoir, read by the author, has been a most fabulous read! Fascinating stories! Not sure why there were some negative reviews on the narration, I can guess some readers were raised on Disney's voice-over actors in animation flicks? Maybe they have never traveled over the town line? The book is read in the most perfect English dialect. I do not rate them all or write reviews for all. I think I have more than 500 memoirs in my library.
