Publisher's Synopsis
In "How It Was", author and movie actor John Dillon skillfully moves the reader from West Wales, England and Ireland to France, Spain and Algeria. He speaks of local heroes and famous authors; some stories recall tragedies bringing tears to the reader, stories about shipwrecks, accidents resulting in death, and environmental disasters. John also pays tribute to his good friends, his dear mother, and St. Francis of Assisi. Other stories bring back humorous times, a cow in the street, a goose on the run or, for children, a sweet story about toys who can talk. John Dillon was the leading actor in Mind on the Run and BBC TV Sadwrn. He also had bit parts in El Cid, Custer of the West, King of Kings, and Solomon and Sheba where he partied with Gina Lollobrigida. This book is sure to entertain, educate and delight the reader!
