The Road Through The Woods

‘The Road Through the Woods’ is a light-hearted journey through the author’s life. After boarding-school boy in Brighton, during the war, he had a try at farming before he progressed through the regular army, only to decide to plant tea in Kenya. From there life moved him on to the caravan business for a while, and then to open the first male beauty shop in London.
