Raymond Briggs

Opis

Jim Bloggs' walls are lined with books like "Out in the Silver West", the "Boys' Book of Pirates" and "Executive Opportunities", which provide fodder for his ruminations on career change. He sets out to bring these dreams to fruition only to discover that the life of an executive, artist or a cowboy is more complicated and costly than it appears.
