Description
Book SynopsisA cheerful collection of Jonathan's wonderful stories from the world of opera.
Trade ReviewThere's never a dull moment around JV but there's a lot more to the man than just good fun. This story peels back some of what makes him tick, his caring, passion, struggles and of course the fun! We travelled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia a few years ago and spent time understanding what living in poverty means to those trapped in it. Jonathan and Sue were changed by that time and have since become active advocates against poverty. I hope this "romp," as JV terms it, gives you a glimpse into the man that I've got to know. -- Ian Hamilton, CEO Compassion UK
"Funny, poignant and entertaining, this book reveals more of the man behind the music." -- Rt Revd Nick Baines, Bishop of Leeds
