Please join us on Friday 28th April at 10.30am in our Port Macquarie Library for a trip down memory lane with local author Les Oliver.
The author “Jollie T Ollie’ aka Les Oliver was born in Sydney in 1950. Gaining inspiration from dealing with fair dinkum country people, Les shares his thoughts on life and sense of humor with us.
A CAMEO OF LIFE AND LAUGHTER; A black and white view of poetry and prose
The contents of this books are some of the original works, written by “Jollie” during the past 30 years.
Each piece is preceded by an explanation as to why the piece was written
Les hopes the Book provokes a thought or two and some laughter as well.
