Friendship is a constant theme, the pleasure he takes in other people. It is this extraordinary energy and enthusiasm for life that defines Simon Brown and lends this memoir its huge attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527254267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527254268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marble Hill Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Simon Brown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941888721151,"sku":"9781527254268","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3289ce7f-f232-4bec-aae9-815ee373b594.jpg?v=1681455540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/playing-off-the-roof-simon-brown-9781527254268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
