Description
Stanley I Presume? is a memoir that recounts Stanley Johnson's remarkable life story. Born into an RAF pilot father who crash-landed a bomber in Devon, Stanley grew up on a sheep farm on Exmoor and maintained strong ties to the rural idyll throughout his life. As he traveled the world, from hitching rides through South America to riding a motorcycle across Afghanistan, Stanley's adventures took him to some of the most unexpected places. He worked for prominent organizations, including John D Rockefeller III and the European Union, before starting a family and becoming a father to Boris Johnson. In this engaging memoir, Stanley shares stories about his family's history, revealing surprising connections to Turkey and the British monarchy. With his sparkling storytelling style, he brings great tales to life in an unsurpassable way.
