As I listened I could only hope (I realize quite selfishly hoped) that he had time for another story or two. Courtenay brought me to tears with his afterward. I quite simply love a good story (Bryce) read by a great reader (Humphrey).
To absorb the life of someone 'just across the road' from the United States in Canada during the turbulent 'pre and post' World War II era was great fun. I have learned more history from great stories than I ever did in school. Courtenay usually writes about South Africa or Australia and we have gotten some real history lessons about these regions as well as entertaining stories.
