Pull up a chair, buy me a beer, and a tale to you I'll tell
By Jim Eyre | Publisher: Wild Places Publishing
About the book
Jim Eyre was born in 1925, so was just old enough to volunteer for service in the Second World War. A Lancashire lad, he had already experienced a series of escapades by the time he joined the Royal Navy and headed for Malta and the Med – which proved to be the ideal environment for more adventures. Those war years and his subsequent career as a freelance painter and decorator – to say nothing of his caving exploits in the heart of the Cave Rescue Organisation - established a pattern for Jim's life.
It's Only a Game is the first of a two-part autobiography, both serious and stunningly humorous, has a broad appeal with illustrations from Jim's cartoon-rich mind.
