Golden Tales of a Newsman by Warren Gerds. As the author points out, compiling this book allowed him to revisit himself with all these stories, which appear in 121 chapters divided into 5 parts. Each chapter tells one, delectably, and it generally features the current person or event of significance. There are those that show the ecstasy of Broadway compositions, and those present legends like Vince Lombardi, or Dolly Parton. Like that of the visit to a unique museum of Singapore, and the time spent in Taiwan. Some about picking blackberries, and some about hoarding impressions. Trips appear quite often, to Venice, to USA, and all over the globe.
Spiced with wit and humor, each of the stories give away partly, the valuable experience, the author amassed. When his father's arm is set by a horse doctor, since 'he was all there was around at the time', or while the 'crazy american' become an issue in Globe Theatre, who can but stay astounded at the sheer variety of themes. This is a good read, spliced with bits of satire. These rainbow-tinged stories can feed to the appetite of readers with many and varied tastes.
