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..." Miriam Margolyes: 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.
Another present from my dad is this memoir from a British actor going from starting his career, voice overs, theatre, film all the way up to being awarded an OBE. Should be interesting!
