Pancakes with Chocolate Syrup

Meer over het boek

Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1927, the author's life changed dramatically a year later, when his English immigrant parents took him and his sister on a visit to England, and never returned. He lived in London for the next seventeen years, before claiming his American birthright by enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War II. Following service in France and Germany, he was discharged in 1946, and settled in Reading, Pennsylvania. In 1999, as a family legacy, he decided to write about his unusual and sometimes hazardous English childhood, weaving into his own life experiences, those important World War II events that were occurring at the same time. His "Horatio Alger" life since returning to the United States, is a testament to the many "only in America" opportunities that he encountered, during the ensuing years. Clearly, his story was worth telling, and is one that many will enjoy reading.
