wonderful

Having read The Road To Nab End, I really wanted to know more about William. What a wonderful, often tragic, emotional and unabashed honest account he gave. I couldn't put it down.

Beyond Nab End by William Woodruff

An enthralling and complelling listen. About a young 16 year old who abandons the North where there is no work on the off chance he may get a job in a foundry in London and his stuggle to survive poverty and how he manges to educate himself and enter Oxford university. Read extremely well by Sam Kelly. Descriptive language is good. I can thoroughly recommend this audio book.
