Overheard On a Bus is Tom Soter's collection of witty, touching, perceptive, and funny reflections on people - both famous and not - he has met, places he has visited, and experiences he has had. Here are meetings with film great Charlie Chaplin, cult TV star Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner), baby boomer icon Fess Parker (Davy Crockett), and such notables as Patrick Macnee (The Avengers), Raymond Burr (Perry Mason), Stan Lee (Marvel Comics), Roald Dahl (novelist), Lalo Schifrin and John Barry (film composers), and the former Lord Chancellor of England, Gerald Gardiner. Here are strange encounters with wired comedians, and memorable moments with Tom's eccentric family. Here is life, unfolding in a marvelous collection of stories that will make you laugh, make you cry, and, above all, make you wonder, "How could I have thought of passing up this terrific book?"
