AFTERWARD

This little book is humorous and honest. It is written with warmth and humanity about ordinary people in ordinary settings, helping us to find truth in unexpected places.

For Maurice Smith truth is a quest not a definition. He does not understand truth as a word game, but as the reality behind appearances. He is remembered, by all who hear him, as a storyteller and so follows a tradition which goes back beyond the written word and which is the precursor of all literature.
Like all good raconteurs his anecdotes are not just entertaining, although they are certainly that, but leave the reader with a sense of somehow touching the inner kernel of life, of reality
. . . of Truth.
