Free The King Of The Ferret Leggers And Other True Stories Ebooks To Download
The King of the Ferret Leggers and Other True Stories collects journalist Donald Katz's most fascinating profiles of people whose lives tell us something about business, adventure, sports, politics, culture, and in a brilliant, ancillary way, ourselves.Katz's opening story and the title piece of the book offers a hilarious yet appropriately reverential look at 72-year old Reg Mellor, unparalleled "ferret legging" champion of Yorkshire and the world. Other characters who populate this book include fitness guru Jack LaLanne, legendary entrepreneur Paul Hawken, and master political cartoonist and inspired troublemaker Bill Mauldin.While this collection contains portraits that are varied in scene and tone, their depictions of obsession, delusion, perseverance, creativity, and good-heartedness-the list could go on and on-remain a constant. Each of these stories conveys a sense of the strangeness, wonder, and oddity of life-a theme that provides a gravitational center to this multifarious selection drawn from twenty years of an award-winning non-fiction story-teller's body of work. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

I read this article when it was originally published and then promptly lost the magazine. After 25 years of intense research I have finally unearthed what quite possibly the best story ever told. Twenty Twelve shes going to be a goodun'.
Donald Katz is such a beautiful writer and these true stories are such a pleasure to read. I bought the Audible narration as well, and love to listen to them too. A great book of surprises.
Thanks!
