An engaging storyteller, he captures his difficult life-style change in a series of short vignettes. Punctuated by his own B&W sketches, they follow not only his blundering attempts to take Manhattan, but also the incredible zigzags that his life has taken, including 26 trips back to the Arctic. Also tells of his experiences as a sheep farmer, best-selling novelist, Hollywood scriptwriter, & prizewinning author of 17 children's books.Houston, James is the author of 'Zigzag A Life on the Move' with ISBN 9780788199691 and ISBN 0788199692.
