In case you haven't gotten the gist of the subject of this book, this book is about the dreaded C word that no one likes to utter, but is never far from anyone's mind, concerns or lips; because none of us have gone through this world, not even for a short span of time without being touched by it in one of its forms or another. Yes, we are talking about cancer, and if you have cancer or know someone who has cancer (and who doesn't fall into one of these two categories?) then this is the obvious book for you. Get your humor on and enjoy the illustrations of political illustrator and artist, Adam Frizzell, and the words of Stephen Butterman. And remember to see the humor in all of life, because it is really true that laughter truly is the very best medicine of all.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50396388360465,"sku":"CIN1614771154G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52752983982353,"sku":"NIN9781614771159","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1614771154.jpg?v=1750720842"},{"product_id":"tales-as-tall-as-a-sunflower-book-stephen-butterman-9781935118749","title":"Tales As Tall As A Sunflower","description":"Tales As Tall As A Sunflower' by Stephen Butterman is a book reminiscent of the humor of the Prairie Home Companion show, and is easy reading with Americana humor at its best.

I'd rather have cancer  His humor is still evident in this book, and he has not stopped fighting  Feeling that a failing heart is far less glamorous than a fight against cancer, and probably being right about this, he sets out to find his way on yet another journey through his life. You might say his conclusion is to live until you die, remember and relish the past, and have as good a time as possible while you are here on this earth  Illustrations for this book 'sequel' are by Adam Frizzell.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53187158573329,"sku":"NIN9781614772484","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781614772484.jpg?v=1772389661"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-stephen-butterman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
