AND FINALLY...The Weird and Wonderful World of News

Packed with strange, funny, kind and unbelievable tales that news-readers save until the end of a broadcast. Tales range from the drunken mice causing havoc but ultimately endearing themselves to the workers at a sherry distillery in Spain, the bride-to-be and huge Swiftie who invited Taylor Swift to her wedding and got the surprise of a lifetime when she showed up for her bridal shower, the owner of a riding school for disabled children who raised tens of thousands of pounds after Lucian Freud popped into one of her amateur horse-sketching classes and left his drawing behind, and Stephanie, the child refugee who founded a female-run software company in 1960s Britain, who was routinely faced with sexism when selling her products. When she posed as 'Steve' when writing to software companies, her business suddenly took off, and when she later sold her business, she made 70 of her employees millionaires. A feel good book for dark times packed with mostly human and a few animal stories doing extraordinary things and with idiosyncratic slices of life and simple fun tales. Also covers law and order, sport and heroes. 207pp.
