Someone Like Me by Miles Kington
Beloved broadcaster and writer Miles Kington's account of an endearingly eccentric childhood has everything - a lovable narrator, a mother who is constantly on her deathbed, a gadget-obsessed father and a flamboyantly theatrical older brother. SOMEONE LIKE ME is a collection of enchanting musings on life from the fringes of a sometimes roundabout, often perplexing but always entertaining adult world in which the incidents and accidents of dog training, borrowed lawnmowers, badminton, figs and unlikely brushes with the Catholic Church combine in the most original and laugh-out-loud funny book you'll have read in decades.
'a rich and vivid depiction of postwar life that's utterly charming and extremely funny' -- Independent 'full of great stories' -- Daily Express
Miles Kington was a well-loved broadcaster and journalist as well as the author of the popular LET'S PARLER FRANGLAIS books. His regular column for the Independent earned him a huge following.
