Great Joy

I have,so far, listened to this book 3 times and will add to that number I am sure. Not only is Gyles Brandreth easy to listen to but many of his poetry selections I was able to recite with him - having learned them in earlier years. I have renewed enthusiasm to take up his suggestion to learn more poems now in my eighties!! I highly recommend this book.
