John William Shannon is a distinguished alumnus of the University of Winchester and, most importantly, an exemplar of the values on which it prides itself.

This memoir is his story and is a welcome addition to the two histories published in 2015 during a year of celebration of the 175th anniversary of the University's foundation in 1840: 'Alumni Voices: The Changing Experience of Higher Education' and 'Winchester University: 175 Years of Education'.

As John achieved his centenary in 2016, his own history runs parallel with many of the major developments in the history of the University and the history of education more generally.

The book is sold here at the heavily discounted price, available for collection from the University King Alfred Quarter for £5 or posted to any UK address for £8.
