An enthralling selection of anecdotes from Green's early career working on a series of provincial newspapers in the early post-war years before he eventually graduated to Fleet Street, and his subsequent success as author of the "Coarse" anthology (The Art of Coarse Cricket, The Art of Coarse Rugby, The Art of Coarse Acting etc).
There are some delightful incidental insights into the post-war privations that the nation suffered on into the early 1950s, and some marvellous descriptions of life the the English Midlands. ( )
