"In this intriguing book Gary reveals his passions, his life’s low and high moments, in a most touching way. You might not guess that this modest and somewhat self-effacing man is the genius behind the extraordinary pictures he creates. His only ‘tool’ a pencil. But, as you read, you start to understand the passion behind the pencil." Virgina McKenna.
