Good Book

I bought a book of short essays on fatherhood written predominantly by journalists and writers. It's called "Fatherhood" edited by Peter Howarth (not to be confused with the book of the same name by Marcus Berkman which seems to be based on the assumption that all fathers are reluctantly so).

Its contributors include Tony Parsons, John Hegley and Pat Kane. Its bite-sized pieces are going down nicely as bedtime reading.

Unfortunately it is quite hard to come by. I got mine through Amazon Marketplace from Hay-on-Wye Booksellers ("hay-on-wye_booksellers").
