    About this audiobook

    This is an absorbing memoir of an inmate's experiences and impressions while in a London prison. He describes himself as "a man of education and worldly experience" and weighing "19 stone 13 lbs" (279 lbs), a stone being 14 lbs, at the beginning of his imprisonment but not upon his release. The author writes with a reporter's keen perception and a talented novelist's ability to engage and at times amuse the reader. - Summary by Lee Smalley

    Donald Shaw

    Donald Shaw is a professional master of ceremonies and a comedian. He is an open-minded and friendly person who loves good jokes, sea diving and traveling most of all in his life. He wrote his first book of funny rhymes at the age of 9. His Dad helped him to print the book in 2 samples. One was sent to the school contest and another one still stays in the home of Donald's Dad. That book has won the first prize in the school contest. Years later, Donald realized he always wanted to write funny books. So he started doing it at the professional level. Donald has visited more than 45 countries during the last 3 years. When Donald was a boy he was afraid of the dark. Now when he sees his electric bill he is afraid of the light. =)
