About the Author
George's eccentricity and sense of fun precedes him through life. If anyone should know his onions about France and the french it is George, as he has been writing humorous, yet affectionate stories of his adventures and travels in and around France for the past 20 years. In his previous life, before taking up travel writing, he has enjoyed a diverse career path which included pickled onion manufacturer, private detective, night club bouncer, demolition engineer and seamstress, the only professional bed-tester in history and in his eventful spell as a publican he won the title of Worst Landlord in Britain for two consecutive years. But early on in his working life he wrote for a young girls' photo story comic and at the other end of the spectrum for a racey mens' mag. Though, he first developed the writing bug as a young boy in school when his slightly near to the knuckle tales were sold to his peers for sweet money. George now lives near his place of birth in Hayling Island with his wife and dog in between his forays to foreign parts.
Reviews
"When such experiences are presented by a raconteur of George East's stature, few people could fail to ignore all else until the book is devoured to the very last page..." Living France Magazine If you can laugh, and sometimes cry, you'll feel a great empathy for George's books. 'Rene and me' is my particular favourite, as the Fox of Cotentin has quietly been circling his lair in previous books, and now shows his true colours. Hampshire Evening Express An often hilarious and sometimes moving celebration of human nature. France Magazine
