About this ebook
How did a fishmonger’s son from Tyneside, growing up in the 1950s with a Geordie accent, become the person who recorded over 900 audiobooks and received an MBE from the Queen in the Birthday Honours of 2017? This ‘charming’, ‘entertaining’ and ‘heart-warming’ memoir answers that question. Reviews: AudioFile magazine “...not simply a reader but an artist of the spoken word...” “...Gordon Griffin, an entire acting company in one person...” “Witty and moving memoir of how a working-class boy becomes THE voice of the spoken word. Honest and vivid account plus excellent advice for those of us who work with words.” Miriam Margolyes
