About the author

Struck by how much fun the English language can be David Willcocks has been writing one-line philosophies for most of his adult life and has had more than 400 appear in print, mostly in the Daily Mail.

He’s been toying with the idea of a collection for a while, usually prompted by friends, family and admirers and so here it finally is.

Among his other claims to fame are that he has run several half marathons successfully and done the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge less successfully, having got lost five times out of six!
