About the Book
This Manuscript is a collection of short stories based on actual events and memories sprinkled with a few spirited yarns… and traditional good old fashioned Geordie humour.
The original “Byker Lion” was the title of a little book of short stories which were sold for a children’s charity.
Several of the tales were broadcast on local Radio and resulted in an appearance on GMTV being interviewed by the fabulous Lorraine Kelly.
