Says Mike "My book is Proper Cornish Childhood, its about me growing up in Cornwall in the early sixties, it is also about the Torrey Canyon oil tanker spill off Lands end. I witnessed the RAF bomb it. It was a big event in our country, and it polluted beaches for years to come. Full details can be found at my website below.
My book and life story as been picked up by the press, I have been on BBC radio 4 times, and have had at least 1.5 million people made aware of me through the media."
