In a world where egos reign supreme and admitting defeat is a sure sign of weakness, Steve Legg has been assailed by an astonishing array of humbling, not to mention downright embarrassing experiences. From peeping toms and knocking out teachers, to a damp patch on the boxers and having a bad Cuprinol day, Paper Thongs & Other Misadventures charts the string of unfortunate incidents that have kept his feet on the ground and his face more than a little red.
Yet amidst the magic tricks and daring escapes, the author has also faced rejection and heartbreak, and seen first-hand the pain that mankind can inflict on humanity.
Fresh, funny, at times deeply moving and always startlingly honest, this quirky collection of true life, often hilarious mishaps brings one man face to face with his foibles, his failures, and a world in need – as well as the God who invariably has the last word.
‘Steve is a unique bloke with a rare ability to cut through the rubbish and the clutter and speak straight to the heart.’
Carl Beech
‘This book is like its author – entertaining, occasionally profound and deeply human.’
