FRIENDS contains heartwarming tales to take you back to those good old days (when perhaps we were not so good and not so old!) when all of us had time to laugh and there was so much for us to laugh about. There are nearly sixty stories, each a few pages long so you can enjoy them in stages. Enjoy The Republic of Amnesia about Uncle Tarzan and his fear of cholera vaccinations, as well as The Illusion of Permanence about the soldier who became a Buddhist monk. Laugh out loud reading about Gordie and the Pope, be amused by the tale of how two little schoolboys (actually the author and his pal Tiny) tried to use a horseshoe to kill their math teacher - and sympathise (or empathise) with Randy who had "One Drink too Many". Drawing on his years as an army medical officer, paediatric surgeon and university professor, the author has produced a heart warming anthology.
