All seemed to be going well until Miss Thorpe's puppy got into the changing room, ran over the ants' cattle grid and upset the bottle of Ants' Anti-Escaping Fluid. Would the hedgehog survive?

217pp. In 1980, John Bonham, considered one of the greatest drummers of all time, died under tragic circumstances. Two months later, a simple letter signed by fellow band members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones stated that Bonham could not be replaced. After nine multi-million-selling albums and record-breaking world tours, Led Zeppelin came to an abrupt and premature end. This personal account of John Bonham's life was written by the person who knew him best—his brother, Mick. Beginning with his childhood, the book follows Bonham's rise as the internationally acclaimed drummer of one of the most successful rock bands of all time. Featuring interviews and previously unpublished photos, this is a tribute not only to John Bonham, but also to Mick Bonham, who died after completing this book.

'On Saturday, May 22, 1971, iI went to Sonora, Mexico, to see don Jan Marus, a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, with whom I had been associated since 1961.I thought that my visit on that day was going to be in no way different from the scores of times i had gone to see him in the ten years I had been his apprentice. The events that took place on that day and on the following days, however, were momentous to me. On that occasion my apprenticeship came to an end. This was not an arbitrary withdrawal on my part but a bona fide termination.' So the introduction to this work, and insight into the works by the author.
