Great insight to the man who started Butlins.

I was given this as a Christmas gift whilst working for Butlins and I actually found it incredibly fascinating and I couldn't put it down.

Loved it! Had no idea what a life this man had led outside of opening Butlins. Amazing what he did for our country / war efforts.
