NOTES

And Finally… is a compilation of heart-warming stories, the ones at the end of the news which help take the edge off the previous 25 minutes of murder and mayhem. Has there ever been a better time for a good news book; a dip-in, dip-out book of upbeat news items on a bedazzling range of subjects? And Finally… is a compilation of heart-warming stories, the ones at the end of the news which help take the edge off the previous 25 minutes of murder and mayhem. You know the stories we mean - in 2022 sightings of Thor the Walrus, as he journeyed his way leisurely round the British Isles, were an obligatory item if he flubbered onto a UK quayside. Though recently spotted in the Faroes, he's probably not done yet… The book is chock full of remarkable charity attempts, heart-tugging reunions, rare sightings of unusual birds, stunning rescues, bizarre competitions, staggering coincidences, detectorists' finds, stunning restorations, talented children and oddball record attempts. And so much more, all written in a wry entertaining style by a master of the written word
