Meet and greet with John
The Handsworth pensioner will be outside Waterstones on Saturday, from 11am to 3pm, to chat with admirers of his charity work and sign his long-awaited book: ‘Distance No Object: Sheffield’s Man with the Pram,’ which was funded by the people of Sheffield, via a Crowd Funding campaign.
John, aged 77, said: “I’ve been really touched by some of the comments of people who’ve read the book, many of whom have said it made them laugh and cry. It’s something I’ve thought about doing for a long, long time. I’ve loved writing.”
