Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Speechwriter, historian, essayist, word doctor; Don Watson has a gift for gently guiding us to the nub of a matter and a grinding of the teeth, an aha or a chuckle with his fine facility with words.

Over the years, Don has written on politics and politicians — Australian and North American — sport, birds and nature, horse-racing, history and military events. Sometimes in celebration of a moment or a creature of beauty and other times because he deplores something he has seen and must take a stand.

At the heart of all of his work is the knowledge that words, with meaning, matter.

When referencing the title, avoid putting it in quotes or speech marks. Please read the response as There It Is Again, using your best judgement for adjusting or adding appropriate emphasis.
