Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: more than you think, 27 Aug 2007 By  P. D. Kidd-hewitt - See all my reviews    Firstly, the book is 128 pages not 96 as show on the web-site. It has some great photos. It gives a unique account of another side of Roald Dahl - Dahl the inventor and philanthropist. It also provides one of the very few detailed accounts of the life of the famous actor Geoffrey Palmer written with his full co-operation. Historically you'll learn new things about Florence Nightingale, The code-breakers at Bletchley, and a little known but amazing black swing band musician called Ken Snakehips Johnson and lots more. A good read for holiday breaks - all real and amazing people you will enjoy knowing more about  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...
