As delicious to the ears as a perfectly square meal to the stomach.
What a joy to hear this exceptionally talented author and orator read his selection of poems. Thank you, Mr Brandreth, for sharing poetry in this unique and inspiring way. I, for one, will always be changed for listening to this wonderful book - and all the better for it!
