    About this ebook

    Laughter Aloud is a light-hearted look at the authors experiences
    expressed in prose and comic verse. The events and encounters are
    related in such a humorous way that the reader can often identify with
    them. This is a book to make one chuckle, and to indeed laugh aloud
    at the antics of the author as she travels in the United Kingdom and
    further afi eld. Her perception and descriptions provide entertainment
    throughout. A truly enjoyable book to which the reader will want to return
    many times.
