Some Luck by John Bird
John Bird has changed the lives of countless people, but first of all he had to change his own. Here he turns his attention to his own past and traces his life from the slums of Notting Hill, through crime, vagrancy and homelessness, to redemption when he launched "The Big Issue". This is an evocation of a life which could so easily have gone the other way, and also a great testament to the human ability to overcome adversity, when energy meets that rarer quality, opportunity.
In 1991 John Bird founded the BIG ISSUE which has become a social phenomenon helping thousands of homeless people. In 2000 he set up ABCtales, a website and magazine of stories and features by both established and aspiring writers. He lives in London.
