Available for £0.99 on Amazon. This was recently featured on a Word podcast which sounded interesting.

Sorry should have added Kindle edition.
Alternative title. World’s Greatest Arsehole might be the perspective of many. Sure to be a good read though.
Cheers. Grabbed.
Added to my Amazon Fire to read on hols next month.
A great quote from Mark Twain on “This Week” (“I’ve had some horrible experiences and some of them actually happened”) prompted me to look for his novels on Amazon and guess what, the whole lot are free on Kindle! I read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn as a kid so I’m really looking forward to rediscovering them and some new ones.
Good move. Mark Twain is soooo much more than Tom and Huck. One of the true greats.
You don’t need to go to Amazon to get free (because they’re out-of-copyright) books for your Kindle.
Get yourself a free copy of the excellent Calibre cross-platform e-book management software and then head for the Project Gutenberg site and get hunting. Their aim is to make the world’s great literature on which the U.S. copyright has expired available at no cost to readers. Digitized and proofread and free of charge with no need for registration. 59,000 titles available.
Download your selections to your computer in the format your Kindle requires and transfer them to your Kindle. You can also use Calibre to remove no-longer-wanted books from your Kindle, manage e-magazine subscriptions, change the format of incompatible e-books and back the entire device up in case of mishaps.

Thanks for that Lunaman.
Just purchased my copy.
Thanks Lunaman, I bought it yesterday and am already over a third of the way through. It could have done with better proof-reading and fact checking, which undermines my confidence in the accuracy of the story, but it is a good read.
Should any Afterworders be unaware, Mark Blake did a podcast with Messrs Ellen & Hepworth late last year, around the time of publication.
A Word In Your Ear with Mark Blake
I’ve just read ‘Bring it on home’. I really enjoyed it. It was much better than I thought it might be. I Find that I do most of my reading when I’m on holiday these days. I can never make my mind up whether to read a classic novel, the latest must read or a good muso book. I’m glad I read it. What heady times they were. While I was listening to Zeppelin and trying like countless others to learn Stairway on my cheap acoustic they were certainly living the Rockstar life to the extreme. Rock n Roll!
PS – I learned at the ripe old age of fifty-eight where the expression Rock n roll came from. How could I have missed that! Thanks Chuck…..
