Book Description
The surprising and inspiring story of Mike Munro – from a heartbreaking childhood to longed-for family happiness far from the demands of fame. Mum was always telling me: 'You’ll never amount to anything because you’re nothing but a pasty-faced nothing.’...I think it’s one of the reasons I’ve worked so hard – I was determined to prove to Mum and myself that I could do something with my life, that I wasn’t really a "nothing".’ To follow Mike Munro’s stellar career from star reporter on ‘60 Minutes’ to host of top-rating shows ‘A Current Affair’ and ‘This is Your Life’, you could be forgiven for thinking he always had it easy. But his journey to the top began a long way down. Raised by an alcoholic single mother who often turned against him in rage and drink, Mike learned from an early age to overcome adversity, believe in himself and make the most of what he had. An extraordinary story of hardship, determination, but most of all love and family, Mike Munro: A Pasty-Faced Nothing will often surprise – and always inspire.

Book Description
HOW TOMMY FOUND A WAY O.P. Pym, the colossal Pym, that vast and rolling figure, who never knew what he was to write about until he dipped grandly, an author in such demand that on the foggy evening which starts our story his publishers have had his boots removed lest he slip thoughtlessly round the corner before his work is done, as was the great man's way--shall we begin with him, or with Tommy, who has just arrived in London, carrying his little box and leading a lady by the hand? It was Pym, as we are about to see, who in the beginning held Tommy up to the public gaze, Pym who first noticed his remarkable indifference to female society, Pym who gave him----But alack! does no one remember Pym for himself? Is the king of the Penny Number already no more than a button that once upon a time kept Tommy's person together? And we are at the night when they first met! Let us hasten into Marylebone before little Tommy arrives and Pym is swallowed like an oyster.
