Laughin' on the Ither Side O' Ma Face
The book offers a frank account of early academic promise that ended in disillusionment and ultimate failure. It offers hope to those whose initial successes may have come to nought and demonstrates that glittering prizes, easily won through natural ability, are often snatched from grasp by unforeseen circumstances, to be regained only by dint of diligent effort.
