Facing up to Father: The pleasures and pains of a Cotswold childhood
Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
New book by David Worlock. Pre-order now at Marble Hill Publishers or Amazon.
A small Cotswold farm is the setting for a classic struggle of wills. Robert Worlock, eccentric and demanding, resolutely maintains the old ways, determined above all to make his son into a farmer fit to take over the family acres. His son, David, is equally determined not to be bullied into something he neither wants nor likes. His childhood becomes a battleground: can he find a way to make his father love him without denying his right to determine his own life?

David,
I finally have a pub date for my new book, Networks Rising: Thinking Together in a Connected World, and now the publisher wants the names of people who might be interested in seeing a pre-pub copy. Publication is not until next September (God!) because of the incredible delay in book publishing these days. But sometime in the spring they will send you something to read. Please give me your current address, and I hope you enjoy it.
BTW, I just ordered a copy of your new book and it sounds wonderful. All your charm is shining through!
All best,
Chris Burns
